  • 2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter
  • 2 oz warm simple syrup (to blend with peanut butter)
  • 1 oz dark chocolate syrup
  • 3 oz whole milk (or oat milk)
  • Chocolate syrup + crushed peanuts, for rim
  • Ice
  • Peanut butter cup, for garnish

Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the glass

    Make peanut butter syrup: blend 2 tablespoons peanut butter with 2 oz warm simple syrup until completely smooth.

  2. 2

    Build the drink

    Prepare the rim: drizzle chocolate syrup around the rim of a rocks glass, then dip into crushed peanuts.

  3. 3

    Add the finishing touch

    In a shaker, combine peanut butter syrup, dark chocolate syrup, and milk with ice.

  4. 4

    Garnish & serve

    Shake vigorously for 20 seconds — the peanut butter needs to fully incorporate.

    Garnish & serve

    Garnish with a mini peanut butter cup on a cocktail pick.

Recipe Tips

  • Blend the peanut butter and simple syrup while the syrup is warm — it incorporates much more smoothly.
  • For a frozen version, blend all ingredients with 1 cup of ice until smooth.
  • Oat milk gives a slightly sweeter, creamier result than regular milk for this recipe.

Make It Your Own

For a crowd: Batch the liquid base, but save cookie crumbles, whipped topping, or a decorative rim for individual glasses so the presentation stays neat.

Easy swaps: Use crushed graham crackers or a similar cookie for a compatible rim. Use vanilla or chocolate syrup as a simple stand-in for a specialty dessert flavor.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this sweet enough for dessert?

Yes, but you can increase sweetness gradually after tasting the chilled drink.

Can I skip the cookie garnish?

Absolutely. The liquid base is designed to stand on its own.
