ito Mainit na Tsokolate na Mantikilya ng Mani is a rich, thick hot chocolate for peanut butter lovers. Plus, this is dairy-free hot chocolate, perfect for sharing with all family and friends this winter.
If, like me, you love the peanut butter and chocolate combo, you’ll love the many recipes I have that use chocolate and peanut butter, such as my chocolate peanut butter chia pudding, chocolate peanut butter, or my crunchy gluten-free chocolate peanut butter.
But one thing was missing, a peanut butter hot chocolate. This recipe started when I accidentally dropped one of my vegan peanut butter cups in my hot chocolate. It melted in the hot cocoa delivering the most delicious peanut butter flavor.
In fact, peanut butter makes the most creamy hot chocolate without adding full-fat milk or cream. Somehow, it’s a healthier way to make ultra-thick hot chocolate because nut butter is packed with proteins, less saturated fat than dairy, and simply so tasty.

Ang kailangan mo lang ay ang mga sumusunod:

How To Make Peanut Butter Hot Chocolate
If you are a peanut butter lover, you must try peanut butter and hot chocolate together. I can guarantee that this brings your hot chocolate to the next level of decadence.
- Bring all the ingredients, except the vanilla extract, to a medium non-stick saucepan over medium heat.
- Warm the milk, chocolate chips, cocoa powder, and peanut butter together and whisk gently to dissolve and melt chocolate chips and peanut butter into the milk.
- Bring to a light simmer – it means it should steam and form light bubbles on side of the pan but never boil. Keep cooking until warm and thick, and all ingredients are well combined.
- Remove the peanut butter hot cocoa from the heat. Stir in vanilla extract. If your peanut butter doesn’t dissolve well, you can use an immersion blender or bring the lukewarm hot chocolate mixture in a blender. Blend until smooth and serve.
Mga Pagpipilian sa Pampalasa
It’s optional to add spices to hot chocolate, but I truly love the addition below, from 1/8 teaspoon to 1/4 teaspoon.
- Ground Cinnamon
- chili powder
- Chia spice
- Peppermint essence
Serving
Before serving, taste the hot chocolate and adjust with more sugar if you like. Serve this hot chocolate with your favorite dairy-free whipped cream or my Vegan Whipped Cream, a dust of unsweetened cocoa powder, chocolate chips, and an extra drizzle of peanut butter.
Mga Pagpapalit ng Allergy
If you are allergic to some of this recipe’s ingredients, try the options below:

- Opsyon sa Keto na Walang Asukal – Peanut butter is keto low-carb friendly. To make this recipe low-carb, use erythritol as a sweetener, almond milk, and sugar-free dark chocolate chips.
Mga Madalas Itanong
Below are the most frequent questions answered:
Yes, you can use my homemade hot chocolate mix for this recipe. Simply warm it with milk, peanut butter, and chocolate chips.
This is a hot chocolate recipe, not hot cocoa. That’s why I am adding chocolate chips. On the other hand, hot cocoa is entirely made from cocoa powder and is less thick and rich. To make hot cocoa peanut butter, skip the chocolate chips and use 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder to increase the cocoa flavor in your drink.
If your jar of peanut butter is not fresh, the peanut butter might be a bit dry and form bits and pieces in the milk. To fix that, cool down for 10 minutes and blend or use an immersion blender to smoothen the recipe. Rewarm if needed before serving.
It’s a bit challenging, but you can warm the milk in the microwave. Then, place the cocoa, chocolate chips, and peanut butter into a glass mixing bowl. Pour the hot milk on top and whisk to dissolve. If it doesn’t melt, return the bowl for 30 seconds in the microwave. Serve in mugs.
