Fluffernutter Hot Cocoa

It's that time of the year where we crave mugs of homemade hot cocoa. This fluffernutter hot cocoa is thick and creamy. It's topped with a marshmallow creme or as I call it marshmallow fluff. It's the perfect recipe for all peanut butter lovers! 



 

Chocolate Peanut Butter Hot Cocoa

We were standing outside last night watching the town's Christmas tree light. It was so chilly out and all I could think about was wrapping your hands around a warm mug of fluffernutter hot cocoa. That's right. Hot fluffernutter cocoa. Chocolate + peanut butter + marshmallow creme = the creamiest and most magical cocoa in town. You're welcome!

I seriously debated on whether my hot fluffernutter cocoa was too creamy. Yes. TOO creamy. Well, Wesley and Lucian have informed me that it's perfect and also the best. They may be biased. I can't say for certain.

I've never had chocolate soup, but have read a few dessert cookbooks with recipes for it. I feel like my fluffernutter hot cocoa could almost be thrown into a soup bowl and called a fluffernutter chocolate soup, but drinking it out of the cup is so much easier.

In a panicked state, Wesely started asking me if I actually wrote down the recipe. I have a habit of not writing down my dinner recipes that I throw together. He will find something that he loves, most of the time it's my soups and I'll have no idea how much of anything I put in it.

In this case, it was a recipe for my blog. Of course, I wrote this one down. A sigh of relief was sounded after I reassured him that it was indeed written scribbled down in my notebook.

It kind of reminds me of The Santa Clause movie. Judy the elf has the perfect recipe for hot cocoa that took her 1200 years to get right. That's me. I'm Judy. It took me a week to concoct the perfect hot cocoa.
