Chocolate Peanut Butter Reese's Shake

Pro tips

• Blend soft serve, chocolate syrup, and peanut butter syrup together before adding crushed Reese's to avoid uneven distribution.
• Chill your blender jar for 5 minutes before blending to keep the shake cold and prevent premature melting.
• Crush Reese's cups just before assembly so they stay crispy on top rather than softening into the shake.
• Add a pinch of salt to the chocolate and peanut butter syrups to enhance flavor depth and balance sweetness.

Substitutions

• Vanilla soft serve → vanilla ice cream (use 1 cup ice cream + 1/2 cup milk for consistency)
• Peanut butter syrup → creamy peanut butter mixed with honey (2 tablespoons peanut butter + 1 tablespoon honey)
• Chocolate syrup → cocoa powder mixed with simple syrup (2 tablespoons cocoa + 3 tablespoons simple syrup)
• Crushed Reese's cups → chopped Reese's fast break or peanut butter cups (same amount)

Storage & make-ahead

Best served immediately after assembly. Store leftover syrup toppings in sealed containers at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.

Can I make this shake without soft serve?

Yes. Substitute vanilla soft serve with 1 cup vanilla ice cream and 1/2 cup milk for a similar texture.

What if I don't have peanut butter syrup?

Mix 2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter with 1 tablespoon honey or corn syrup, then stir into the shake.

Can I prepare the shake ahead of time?

Assemble just before serving to prevent melting. Pre-crush Reese's cups and chill toppings in advance.

Is this recipe dairy-free?

No. The shake uses vanilla soft serve, which contains dairy. Use non-dairy ice cream and plant-based chocolate/peanut butter syrups to modify.

How do I prevent the shake from being too thick?

Add milk in small increments (1-2 tablespoons at a time) while blending until you reach desired consistency.
