Servings: 1
Equipment
- Mug Heatproof 15-Ounce
- Saucepan Small
Ingredients
For the Peanut Butter Sauce
- 2 Tablespoons light corn syrup
- 1 Tablespoon peanut butter smooth
For the Hot Chocolate
- 1/4 Cup heavy whipping cream
- 3 Tablespoons peanut butter smooth
- 1 1/2 Tablespoons sweetened condensed milk
- 1 1/4 Cup milk whole
- 1/3 Cup chocolate chips milk or semi-sweet
- 1/4 Teaspoon sea salt
- 1 1/2 Ounces whiskey peanut butter flavor, such as Skrewball
To Serve
- whipped cream
- Nutter Butter cookies or similar peanut cookies
Instructions
Make the Peanut Butter Sauce
- Mix together corn syrup and peanut butter until smooth.
- Cover and set aside at room temperature. Refrigerating the sauce will make it harden but it can be softened if left out at room temperature and re-mixed.
Make the Boozy Peanut Butter Hot Chocolate
- Using a spoon, transfer a bit of peanut butter sauce (recipe above) onto the rim of a heatproof 15 ounce mug. I just tap the sauce-covered spoon along the rim until it is covered. I like to put enough on that it drips down the side. The more peanut butter, the better!
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, add heavy whipping cream, peanut butter, and sweetened condensed milk. Whisk until combined. Slowly pour in milk and stir to mix. Allow mixture to heat up again, then add chocolate chips.
- Continue whisking over medium heat until chocolate is fully incorporated and the mixture is hot, but not boiling. The ideal temperature for hot chocolate is somewhere between 160 degrees F to 185 degrees F.
- Remove from heat. Add salt, then peanut butter whiskey. Stir to mix and pour into mug.
- Top with a heaping dollop of whipped cream, drizzle with peanut butter sauce, and serve sprinkled with crumbled peanut butter cookies.
Notes
Don’t boil the mixture: Keep the temperature between 160 and 185 degrees F for the best texture.
Use smooth peanut butter: Avoid natural types that separate and won’t blend as well.
Garnish generously: Cookies, sauce and whipped cream make it extra fun and festive.
