Step-by-Step Instructions (With All My Best Tips!)

Step 1: Blend the Base

1. In a blender, combine milk, ice, espresso (if using), peanut butter, chocolate syrup, sugar, ice cream (if using), and vanilla extract.
2. Blend on high until smooth and creamy (about 30-45 seconds).
3. Check consistency:
   • Too thick? Add a splash more milk.
   • Too thin? Toss in a few more ice cubes.
4. Taste and adjust:
   • Want more peanut butter? Add another tbsp.
   • Not sweet enough? Drizzle in more chocolate syrup.

Pro Tip: If your peanut butter is too thick, warm it slightly before blending.

Step 2: Decorate the Glass (For That Café-Worthy Look)

1. Take a clear glass and drizzle chocolate and peanut butter syrup inside—this creates a gorgeous marbled effect.
2. Let it sit for a minute so the syrups cling to the glass.

Presentation Hack: Dip the rim in crushed Reese’s or mini chocolate chips for extra flair.

Step 3: Pour & Top Like a Pro

1. Pour the blended frappuccino into your prepared glass.
2. Add a big swirl of whipped cream.
3. Sprinkle with crushed Reese’s cups.
4. Drizzle with more chocolate and peanut butter syrup.
5. Add mini chocolate chips or pretzel crumbs for crunch (optional).
6. Serve immediately with a wide straw (so you get all the toppings in every sip!).

Serving Suggestion: Pair with a warm chocolate chip cookie for the ultimate treat.
