With the popularity of nut butters continuing to grow, the retro restaurant chain Steak 'n Shake has debuted two ultra-indulgent peanut butter shakes. Just like the chain's other [hand-dipped milkshakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/habit-burger-grill-peppermint-bark-shake), these decadent new beverages are the ultimate way for customers to treat themselves to something sweet and creamy.

The new Peanut Butter Milkshakes from Steak 'n Shake are hand-crafted shakes made with creamy Reese’s Peanut Butter. For added choice, the peanut butter shakes come in two different varieties: the Peanut Butter Milkshake and the [Chocolate Peanut Butter Milkshake](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dubai-chocolate-pistachio-shake). The former is made with creamy peanut butter blended into the chain's signature hand-dipped milkshake base and topped with whipped cream and a sweet cherry. The latter boasts the same ingredients, but features the addition of a sweet chocolate syrup.
