Just picture it. Slippers on. Log fire going. Your favourite film on the TV. All that, and a peanut butter hot chocolate in your hand.

1. Bring the water to a simmer in a saucepan over a medium-high heat. Whisk in the cocoa powder until no lumps remain, then add the milk and bring back to a simmer. Whisk in the chocolate and sugar until the mixture is smooth and creamy and the chocolate is melted. It takes about 5 minutes. Add the peanut butter and stir well to mix.
2. Divide the hot chocolate between two mugs, top with whipped cream and dust with cocoa powder.
