Peanut Butter Hot Chocolate

If there’s one thing we can’t get enough of, it’s peanut butter. It’s Pete’s favorite sweet and my favorite nut butter. I’ve even stashed a few individual packets of peanut butter in my carry on for a healthy on-the-go snack that I’ll typically pair up with an apple or banana when I’m traveling.

Recently, I got into PB2 since it’s a bit more TSA friendly than a “gel-like” nut butter. After mixing it up one day with a bit of water, that got me thinking, “I wonder if I can mix this in with cocoa for hot chocolate?”  The answer is, yes!  It makes a delicious peanut butter hot chocolate!  Here’s the recipe below.
