- Tastes like the drive through version but better because you control the thickness
02 -
- Room temperature peanut butter incorporates completely while cold peanut butter leaves tiny grainy bits
- Freezing your glasses for ten minutes beforehand keeps shakes cold longer on hot days
03 -
- Chilled glasses prevent your shake from melting before you can finish it
- Let the blended mixture sit for two minutes before serving to let the foam settle
