Hot Chocolate + Pb Cups = Ooh La La! (Kid-Friendly)

"I found this recipe on a bulletin board at my nephew's elementary school in Tecumseh, KS. It was part of a collection of recipes encouraging kids to 'get in the kitchen'. Later that night, I turned on the Christmas lights, lit the fireplace and enjoyed this decadent beverage! It tastes just like Reese's PB cups! WARNING: While this is a delicious drink, it is incredibly rich. 1/2 a cup was plenty for me personally. I doubt I'll make this again, but it was sure fun and easy to make! Enjoy!"

  1. Very good hot chocolate! I'm a Reese's junkie, and this is great. DH does not like pb (???) and he says this is good because there's not a strong pb taste. made for Spring PAC,2011.
     
  2. I love the name!
     
  3. RockChalk, this sounds soooo good. DH and I were going over the reviews and this definitely caught our eyes. I can't wait to try and I'll come back and rate then. Congrats on your first posting- it's addictive huh?

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I live in Lawrence, KS, home of the Kansas Jayhawks! RockChalk! Lawrence is such a diverse town with a wide variety of locally owned restaurants. I love trying them and learning more about food. I'm an RN by trade but in my spare time, I love to read, spend time with my family & friends, cook/bake and run in the woods with my dogs, Jack and Daffodil. I also love volunteer work to include volunteering at a culinary center near my home. I have learned so much there--not just about cooking but about entertaining, too. I've been a member of Recipezaar for a few years now. It is so much fun! I love trying new recipes and interacting with interesting chefs. This is a great forum for food, friendship & fun. <img src="http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg271/MrsTeny/SaltPepperSwap.jpg">
