Peanut Butter Hot Chocolate

Peanut Butter Hot Chocolate

by Pam on October 27, 2013

I was recently sent some hot drink powders to try out by Stephen’s Gourmet[1]. As you can imagine, my kids were super excited!!!

I decided to try making hot chocolate a little more special by adding peanut butter and a touch of vanilla. No hot chocolate is complete without whipped cream and sprinkles! These peanut butter hot chocolates were decadent and delicious. My kids loved them! Thank you Stephen’s Gourmet[2]. We can’t wait to try the other flavors you sent.

Pour the milk into a small saucepan over medium heat. Add the chocolate powder, peanut butter, and vanilla. Whisk until well combined and cook until hot. Be careful not to let it boil or the milk could curdle.

Pour into mugs & top with whipped cream and sprinkles. Serve immediately. Enjoy.

Side Note: Some peanut butters have tiny grains of peanuts in them, if yours does, make sure to pour the finished hot chocolate through a fine sieve to remove all the peanut butter grains before pouring into the serving mugs.

i am watching masterchef junior and omfg. this kid

i’m so glad someone posted something from this show. last  night i watched this with jacob. he has already expressed some interest in being a chef (at his age he wants to be everything). but seriously, he always wants to make up dishes. nothing like these kids were cooking YET. 

when we got home he insisted that he needed to make a dessert and hijacked the cake mix i had for my nephews bday cake. he followed the directions on his own. i only helped when he asked me to.  he cooked them in a cupcake pan and after they cooled topped them with chocolate sauce, strawberries, and whipped cream. they were delicious. 

today at the grocery he made me purchase a pumpking which he intends to cook. i’m not sure what he is going to try to do with it but i’ll let you know how it goes. 

Chocolate Cream Puff Swans – Oh, Mama!

Mother’s Day is coming up soon, and these chocolate ganache-filled cream puff swans would be a great way to say thanks to her for that whole giving you life thing. I think once she tastes them, she’ll agree that it was all worth it after all.


This is mostly a technique video, as these beautiful birds would work with any number of fillings. Pastry cream, lemon curd, mousse, and fresh fruit are all perfect with this pâte à choux delivery system. This classic French dough has a thousand uses, and must be mastered by any serious cook. 

By the way, these are much better chilled, so make them an hour or two ahead. The one I eat in the video wasn’t well chilled, and you can see was pretty soft. Once cold, the chocolate ganache becomes very truffle-like, the whipped cream firms up, and you get something much more toothsome. So whether you do these for Mother’s Day or not, I really hope you give these a try soon. Enjoy!



Pâte à Choux (Cream Puff Dough)
*enough for about 8-10 “swans”
1/2 cup water
1 tsp sugar
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
