Ahh, Spring is here – nothing but warm days intermixed with a fair share of rainy ones. But when Mother Nature presents you with these occasional wash-outs, sometimes the best thing to do is to succumb to a book-filled, board-game-loaded, hot-chocolate-drinking kind of day. Homemade hot chocolate always seemed too labor intensive, especially since Swiss Miss brings back fond childhood memories of those cold winter days. But now that I’ve seen how easy it is to make, there is no turning back. Taking it one step further and making a peanut butter hot chocolate was a no-brainer. My trick here is to use nonfat powdered milk to make the hot chocolate super rich and creamy without increasing the fat.
