In a small saucepan, add milk and peanut butter. Over medium to high heat, melt peanut butter in milk, stirring often. You do not want milk to burn.

Once peanut butter is melted. Slowly add milk mixture to dry ingredients in medium saucepan.

After it becomes thick, cook an additional 2 minutes longer.
