- 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1/4 cup dark chocolate chips
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

- Whipped cream
- Chocolate shavings
Instructions
- Heat the Milk: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, warm the 2 cups of milk until it is hot but not boiling, to ensure a smooth texture without scorching.

- For a dairy-free version, substitute milk with almond or oat milk.

- Whisking continuously while adding peanut butter and chocolate prevents clumping.
- Chocolate shavings can be replaced with cocoa powder or chopped nuts for variation.
