Storing and reheating

Cold chocolate drinks are best right away. Leftover chocolate milk or syrup-based drinks keep 2-3 days in the fridge; shake before serving. Milkshakes don’t keep: freeze leftovers as ice pops instead.

Choosing your chocolate

For drinks made with cocoa powder, Dutch-process gives a darker, smoother, mellower cup and natural cocoa a brighter, fruitier one. For melted chocolate, use a bar you’d enjoy eating: chips contain stabilizers that resist melting. See our cocoa and hot chocolate mix reviews and cocoa powder guide.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use natural peanut butter?
