Peanut punch is a filling, milkshake-like drink of peanut butter blended with milk, condensed milk and spice, sold cold in bottles and made at home in a blender in minutes.

Use smooth peanut butter for a silky punch. The condensed milk sweetens it, so taste before adding any sugar.

It contains peanuts and milk, so check before serving it to guests.
