Warm up your chilly days with the indulgent and effortlessly homemade Peanut Butter Hot Chocolate Mix—a rich, creamy blend of unsweetened cocoa powder, powdered sugar, and velvety peanut butter powder. This easy-to-make mix combines pantry staples like instant dry milk powder and a dash of cornstarch for that extra thickness, while optional mini chocolate chips add a touch of decadence to every sip. Ready in just 10 minutes and perfect for gifting or cozy nights in, this mix makes up to 12 servings and can be stored for up to six months. Simply stir into hot milk for a lusciously comforting drink that balances the nutty sweetness of peanut butter with the deep flavor of chocolate. Top with whipped cream, melted peanut butter, or chocolate shavings for a café-worthy treat you'll crave all season long!
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder, powdered sugar, dry milk powder, peanut butter powder, cornstarch, and sea salt until well combined.
If desired, fold in mini chocolate chips for added richness and texture.
Transfer the mixture to an airtight container or jar for storage. The mix will keep for up to 6 months if stored in a cool, dry place.
To prepare a single serving of hot chocolate, add 3 tablespoons of the mix to a mug.
Pour 1 cup of hot milk (or water for a lighter version) over the mix and stir until completely dissolved and smooth.
Garnish with whipped cream, a drizzle of melted peanut butter, or chocolate shavings, if desired. Serve hot and enjoy!
