Frozen Peanut Butter Hot Chocolate

Ingredients:
3 oz dark chocolate (70% cacao), chopped

3 oz peanut butter cups, chopped

2 Tbsp creamy peanut butter

1 Tbsp sugar

1-1/2 cups milk, divided

1 Tbsp good quality hot chocolate mix

2-1/2 cups ice

Whipped cream (for garnishing)

Chocolate sauce (for garnishing)

Peanut butter cups, chopped (for garnishing)

Directions:
Mix the dark chocolate, peanut butter cups, sugar, and 1/2 cup of milk in a microwave-safe bowl and cook in 20-second intervals, stirring occasionally until melted and evenly incorporated. Add the hot chocolate mix and stir until thoroughly blended. Place the mixture in the refrigerator and allow it to cool.


Place the remaining cup of milk, the cooled chocolate mixture, and the ice into a blender and mix until completely smooth. Pour the beverage into milkshake glasses, and top each with whipped cream, more peanut butter cups, and a drizzle of chocolate sauce. Serve
