I
can't call myself a big fan of peanuts, but we always have peanut
butter and peanut butter chocolates in our cupboard (thanks to my
mum). When a Peanut Hottie representative contacted me I knew nothing
about the drink itself but was very eager to try it.

When
I have opened the tub for the first time I couldn't resist but to
sniff the powder, which had a peanutty aroma.
My
husband made the first mug and instead of putting recommended 4-5
teaspoons he put 2-3 teaspoons, it didn't look thick, but tasted very
peanutty, sweet (but not too sweet).
The
second time round I put as recommended amount which made it too sweet
and maybe slightly thicker, but I had to add more hot water as it
just didn't taste right for me. I do understand that everyone is
different but I would prefer to use 2-3 teaspoons every time as it's
tastes nicer and to preserve more of Peanut Hottie drink as if you
were to use the recommended amount it will be enough only for 4-5
mugs.
If
you would like to try Peanut Hottie, it is
available
in Sainsbury’s and Waitrose
currently - the store finder tool on the website will let you find
your local to save a wasted trip.
When
I was browsing Peanut Hottie website I also came across recipes
created by fans of this drink, I think it's a great idea but can be
costly.
Even
though I never heard of this drink before my husband and I started noticing that it is getting popular amongst our friends and work
colleagues, we spotted few people who had Peanut Hottie tubs in their
kitchen and for those who never tried this drink we offered to sample
it.
It
is a great alternative to a hot chocolate, but would be more like a
treat drink in our family due to it's price.
Recommendation:
my suggestion is purely for inventors of this drink- to make this
drink last longer maybe to use a thickening agent so that we can use
1 teaspoon instead of 4.
Disclamer: I was provided with Peanut Hottie tub for the purpose of this review. All views and opinions are honest and my own.
