Method

  1. Combine chocolate, cocoa powder, nut butter, salt, and 1/2 cup milk in a small saucepan. Whisk over medium heat until the chocolate melts and the mixture is smooth about 1.5 minutes.

  2. Whisk in remaining milk in a slow, steady stream, and continue whisking until cocoa is steaming, about 1 1/2 minutes. Don’t let it come to a boil.

  3. Carefully taste, and add more milk if you like it thinner, and if you like it sweeter, add a teaspoon or two of maple syrup.

  4. Divide in 2 cups, serve hot and enjoy.

Notes

MILK: I usually end up using only 1.5 cups of milk (vs. 2 cups) since I like it to be thicker.

PEANUT BUTTER: I used creamy natural peanut butter like this one: click
