Method
 

  1. Add hot cocoa mix to your favorite mug.
  2. Add creamy peanut butter on top of the dry mix.
  3. Gradually pour in hot water while stirring steadily until the peanut butter melts completely and incorporates with the cocoa mix.

Notes

You can customize this recipe by using natural peanut butter for a less sweet version or almond butter for a nuttier profile. Dark chocolate cocoa mix creates a more sophisticated flavor. For extra indulgence, add a tablespoon of chocolate chips to the hot mixture. The peanut butter should be at room temperature for easier mixing. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator and reheat gently.
