Most American kids grew up enjoying the delicious taste of Yoo-hoo, and now the brand is helping them relive those memories with a brand new Chocolate Peanut Butter flavor. With its rich chocolate flavor and hints of peanuts, the rich and creamy drink is basically a liquified version of a peanut butter cup.

Yoo-hoo's new Chocolate Peanut Butter flavor was recently spotted on the shelves of [Walmart](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/peanut-butter-wafer-bar) stores by the [Instagram](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/peamutt-squeezy) user The Junk Food Aisle. According to the packaging, the drink is "naturally and artificially flavored" to give it a distinct chocolate peanut butter taste. But despite the indulgent taste, the drink is also a good source of vitamins such as calcium and vitamin D.
