🥤 Instructions
1. Cool the coffee: Brew strong coffee or espresso and chill it thoroughly (ideally 30 min in the fridge) so it won’t dilute your frappuccino .
2. Blend the base: In a blender, combine coffee, milk, peanut butter, chocolate syrup, sugar, and vanilla (if using). Blend on low, then high, until smooth.
3. Add ice: Toss in the ice and blend until the drink is thick, creamy, and free of chunks—about 30–45 seconds .
4. Finish with flair: Pour into a glass. Top generously with whipped cream, a drizzle of chocolate (and peanut butter) syrup, and a sprinkle of crushed Reese’s .
5. Serve immediately for optimal frosty, milkshake‑like texture.
