Peanut Butter Hot Cocoa

While warm winter drinks are pretty common, and usually are free of gluten and starch, this one was so yummy I just had to share.

Peanut Butter Hot Cocoa

4 cups milk
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup cocoa powder*
1 teaspoon vanilla
dash salt
2-3 tablespoons peanut butter
Marshmallows or whipped cream, optional

Combine the milk, sugar, hot cocoa and salt in a medium saucepan. Whisk well to combine, and warm over medium heat until hot, but not boiling. Remove from heat, and whisk in vanilla and 2T peanut butter, add additional peanut butter if desired. Top with whipped cream or marshmallows. Serve.

**Either regular cocoa or dark cocoa powder will work fine for this recipe.
