This easy healthy comforting Vegan Peanut Butter Hot Cocoa will make you wonder why you ever bought the packaged mixes.
I have been enjoying different varieties of Vegan Hot Cocoa and Vegan Hot Chocolate lately. It all started with Vegan Mexican Hot Chocolate, which has grated Mexican dark chocolate in it. Yum!
One of my favorite flavor combinations is peanut butter and dark chocolate, so I figured that I would love it as a drink. I often eat dark chocolate chips with peanut butter and a pinch of salt. It's a wonderful snack when I want something sweet and savory.
This Vegan Peanut Butter Hot Cocoa has raw cacao powder, peanut butter, unsweetened vanilla almond milk, and stevia, so it is sugar free, unless you decide to indulge a little by including the chocolate and peanut butter drizzle, or by adding your favorite sweetener.
This recipe is really easy, and is done in no time. I personally think it tastes way better than the hot cocoa mixes you buy at the store, and this way you can control the ingredients. Grab a good book and cozy up with this warm and comforting Vegan Peanut Butter Hot Cocoa!

So good! I didn't have stevia so I used 1 tbs of brown sugar 😀 Tasted great nonetheless! Was craving a warm drink and peanut butter - this recipe was perfect.
