The new SONIC Chocolate Peanut Butter Shake has been debuted by the QSR brand as a sweet, indulgent option for customers to try out for a limited time.
The shake features the brand's chocolate and peanut butter soft serve that's blended together before being hand-mixed with REESE'S Peanut Butter Cups for a touch of familiar sweetness. The shake comes topped with whipped topping and a cherry, just like the brand's other options, and will make its formal debut starting February 2, 2026 but will only be on offer for a short period.
The new SONIC Chocolate Peanut Butter Shake is arriving alongside a special promotion for National Tater Tot Day (February 2) that will offer customers a free order of Tots with any in-app purchase.
