Ingredients

(Tip: You can find the complete list of ingredients and their measurements in the recipe card below.)

Brewed Coffee (cold): Provides the base and balances the sweetness with a subtle bitterness.
Milk: Adds creaminess—use whole milk or any milk alternative like almond, oat, or soy.
Creamy Peanut Butter: The key flavor—smooth and nutty for that Reese’s signature taste.
Chocolate Syrup: Adds the classic chocolate note and makes the drink rich and decadent.
Sugar or Sweetener: Adjust to taste, depending on your chocolate syrup’s sweetness.
Ice Cubes: Create that thick, icy frappuccino texture.
Whipped Cream: Optional but highly recommended for topping.
Crushed Reese’s Cups or Chocolate Chips (optional): For garnish and extra indulgence.

Directions

Brew a strong cup of coffee and let it cool completely. In a blender, combine the cooled coffee, milk, peanut butter, chocolate syrup, sugar (if needed), and ice cubes. Blend on high speed until smooth and creamy. Taste and adjust sweetness or consistency—add more ice for thickness or a splash of milk for a thinner texture.

Pour into a tall glass, top with whipped cream, drizzle with chocolate syrup, and sprinkle crushed Reese’s pieces or chocolate chips on top. Serve immediately with a straw and enjoy every chocolatey, peanut-buttery sip!
