Nothing goes together better than chocolate and peanut butter, so why not combine the two the next time you drink a mug of hot cocoa? My son loves this hot drink, especially after a day of playing in the snow or sitting by the fire on one of our summer camping trips. Whatever your adventure, give this cocoa mix a try. It’s easy to pre-make and store in a glass jar, ready to go whenever the mood strikes.
To make, grab a pint-sized mason jar with lid and ring. Fill the jar with ½ of a cup of Dutch-processed cocoa, ½ of a cup of granulated sugar and ¼ of a cup of peanut butter powder. Seal the jar and shake to combine. Your cocoa mix is complete!
To make the hot cocoa, simply scoop 3-4 tablespoons of Hot Cocoa with Peanut Butter Mix into a mug and top with steaming hot milk or milk substitute. Stir to combine and enjoy! This recipe makes about 6 mugs of cocoa. Double the recipe if serving a crowd.
