This was a tasty cocoa, but a tad to sweet for even the kids. I think it is because I used a commercial PB with corn syrup in it...we are used to homemade. I will definitely make it again once I make a batch of PB and see if that makes a difference. Thanks for posting this recipe and I will report back with the new findings :o) Made and reviewed for the 35th AUS/NZ Recipe Swap.

Happiness is a warm puppy and a mug of this cocoa. I use natural peanut butter so even the smooth retains some minute peanut "grit", I don't think that this is a bad thing at all (but BK, do you know how hard it is to melt PB into milk? LOL). I used cocoa powder in place of chocolate syrup in an attempt to curb the fat and sugar content as well as using skim milk. Total comfort to the max and don't let the kids know about this or you'll have to fight them off. Made for Photo Tag.

A big thank you to everyone that has made my recipes... hope you enjoyed them.
