Step1Heat oven to 350°F. In medium microwavable bowl, microwave chocolate and peanut butter uncovered on High in 30-second increments, stirring after each until smooth.

Step2In 1-quart saucepan, heat milk, cream, 1/4 cup sugar and 1 teaspoon vanilla over medium heat until hot, but not boiling. Add egg yolks to heatproof bowl. Add about 1/4 cup of the hot cream mixture to egg yolks. Beat with whisk until smooth; add remaining cream mixture, continuing to beat until smooth. Add chocolate mixture; mix well.
