ingredients:
  • ¼ cup plus 3 tablespoons half and half
  • ⅓ cup granulated sugar
  • 5 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 8 oz good quality milk chocolate, finely chopped
  • 2-3 tablespoons smooth peanut butter
  • ⅔ cup heavy cream

Remove pan from heat and add chopped chocolate and peanut butter, swirling pan to cover chocolate and peanut butter with hot half and half mixture. Let stand for about 3 minutes to melt chocolate and peanut butter fully. Gently whisk chocolate mixture until blended then stir in vanilla extract. Let stand at room temperature until cool.
