Milk Chocolate and Peanut Butter Hot Cocoa

Milk Chocolate and Peanut Butter Hot Cocoa


I must admit, if it hadn't been for the weekly poll I'd probably never make such a calorie-filled hot chocolate. I might indulge in it if I saw it on Ladurée's le petit déjeuner menu, but the idea of drinking whole milk, heavy cream, milk chocolate and peanut butter together makes my pants pop at the mere thought of it. Having said this, I am so grateful I ignored my worries and drank one and a half glass of this pure indulgence. It's simply splendid! How could it not be? Rating: 4.5 out of 5.

On a side note: the milk chocolate and peanut butter hot cocoa was not the poll's winner. I made the pillowy meringue hearts but I was extremely unhappy with the photography, so I decided not to blog about it. For anyone who's interested here's the recipe for the pillowy meringue hearts.

This looks bliss!! Sadly, I am not allowed peanut butter due to being pregnant (if you have family with allergies, they recommend not to have them, booo) But, I will be sure to try it after...have a blissful weekend xx
