PEANUT BUTTER HOT CHOCOLATE FLOAT

Thick and creamy hot chocolate that just tastes just like a peanut butter cup. Pour that over vanilla ice cream and you've got yourself a hug in a mug.

INGREDIENTS

FOR DECORATING THE CUPS (OPTIONAL):

•  1/4 cup (2oz/ 57g) chopped chocolate, any kind, then melted
•  3 tablespoons (23g) chopped peanuts

FOR THE PEANUT BUTTER HOT CHOCOLATE:

•  2 cups (500ml) milk
•  2 teaspoons cornstarch (cornflour)
•  2 teaspoons unsweetened cocoa powder
•  A heaping 1/4 cup (2oz/ 50g) milk chocolate, finely chopped, I used chocolate chips
•  2 tablespoons (1oz/ 25g) semisweet or dark chocolate, finely chopped, I used semisweet chocolate chips
•  1/4 cup (2oz/ 57g) smooth peanut butter

FOR SERVING:

•  Vanilla ice cream, at least one scoop per cup

INSTRUCTIONS

FOR DECORATING THE CUPS:

1. Pour the melted chocolate in a small rimmed plate that fits your cup and the chopped peanuts in another.
2. Turning the cup upside down, dip the rim into the chocolate, moving and twisting it around to make sure its well coated. Alternatively, use a clean paintbrush dedicated for kitchen use, to paint the chocolate around the rim of the cup.
