🥛 Ingredients for Jamaican Peanut Punch

To make Jamaican peanut punch, you will need the following ingredients:

  • Creamy Peanut Butter – Peanut butter adds a rich and creamy texture to the punch, providing a smooth and velvety consistency. It is an alternative to roasted peanuts to keep this recipe easy and accessible.
