Rewind: Salted Peanut Butter Hot Chocolate

How could I not re-post my salted peanut butter hot chocolate recipe during Hot Chocolate Week? I mean, really.

Here we go again!

While in New York City, we stopped in at the Shake Shack for lunch.

What caught my eye first? Their focus on sustainability, in both their ingredients and their buildings.

The second thing that caught my eye? Their salted peanut butter hot chocolate.

Since we were just picking up a small lunch, we had to pass on the hot chocolate. But I made a note, right then and there, to make my own version at the first opportunity I got.

My first attempt was kind of gross, to say the least. Word to the wise: do NOT use chunky peanut butter. The clumps are not what you want to encounter while sipping your hot chocolate.

The second attempt was much better. It was creamy and smooth. Rich and delicious, like a melted Reese’s peanut butter cup. Try it. Try it today.
