It’s true: We’ve gone nuts over Peanut Hottie, the most innovative beverage we’ve seen in a long time and the first-ever hot peanut butter drink. Instead of hot chocolate, made with cocoa powder, it’s hot peanut butter, made with peanut flour.

And oh my goodness, after one sip you’ll never want to be without it.

Like instant hot cocoa, Peanut Hottie is a powder that is simply dissolved in hot water. With delectable peanut butter flavor and aroma, it has just 83 calories per six-ounce cup. It’s caffeine free, and packs a bit of protein from the peanuts.

Note that the container says there are 13 servings worth of drink powder, but made a few mugs and found that we could use up the contents in six or seven large mugs. No complaints—it just means we had to buy more, sooner.

And we stocked up big-time. Peanut Hottie will be our stocking stuffer and small gift for Holiday 2014.

You can find Peanut Hottie at Wal-Mart and other retailers. Here’s a store locator.

Or, buy it online:

Peanut Butter & Chocolate Flavored Peanut Hottie

The idea for Peanut Hottie came to co-creator Lisa Gawthorne, owner of Bravura Foods Ltd in the U.K., when she washed down a spoonful of peanut butter with a sip of hot tea. Captivated by the deliciousness, she tried to find a hot peanut drink. Nothing existed, so she and co-creator Karl Morris decided to make it themselves.

Peanut Hottie is gets our vote for the hot product of the year. You’ll go nuts for it.
