Have you ever tried a frozen hot chocolate? I know, I know, it’s totally a weird, but yummy, but also understandably, mind boggler of a concept. Contradiction much? 😉

I wasn’t exactlywarming to the concept.

But about a year and a half ago, I made something that tasted like a hot chocolate, but frozen. Yes, I’m full of delicious contradictions. It was this peanut butter hot chocolate smoothie. It was one of the tastiest things I’ve ever drank. (Why does saying “drank” always sound wrong, btw?)

Anywho, the happy accident that came from that was realizing that I could say ‘that’ three times in one sentence.Heh heh. I mean… I realized that peanut butter adds a wonderfully creamy and thick element to frozen treats. One reader even pointed out that the frozen hot chocolate recipe reminded her of a frosty.

So just one and a half short years later, I’ve revised, tested, and re-worked that peanut butter hot chocolate smoothie recipe into this 4 Ingredient Chocolate Peanut Butter Homemade Frosty Recipe. Ta-da!!!

(Okay, I know I take forever and a half to do my recipe testing. But better late than never, right? ;))

Anyway, this year I’ve been applying the “peanut butter + frozen desserts = creamy frozen bliss” equation to quite a few mouthwatering treats. See:Banana Peanut Butter Swirl Ice Creamand more to come this summer!

The results have been incredible. And I thought it was high time to make and share this homemade frosty. Upgraded with peanut butter, of course. (Doubly upgraded if you drizzlehomemade peanut butteron top…andadd a plate of freshly-madeno bake chocolate peanut butter oatmeal cookieson the side).

Thischocolate peanut butter homemade frosty recipe is super thick, ultra creamy and ridiculously good. It takes only a few minutes to make, and perhaps even less to eat. Alright, if you don’t want a brain freeze, a few more minutes than that—but Erik didn’t let that stop him!
