FINALLY! Things are starting to cool off here, and it is time for hot chocolate! So for this week’s THIRSTY THURSDAY recipe is a sophisticated version my favorite hot beverage.
You all know I have a love of all things salted caramel as was evidenced by the salted caramel brownies and salted caramel dark chocolate truffles. Last week, I had a salted caramel hot chocolate at Starbucks, I knew I could make it myself with some things I already had at home.
This is one of the easiest, but most decadent treats you will ever make. I used William and Sonoma Hot Chocolate mix that I had received as a gift, but you can make hot chocolate however you like and some caramel syrup and salt. The recipe for what I made is below.
Salted Caramel Hot Cocoa
1 cup Skim Milk
5 Tablespoons William and Sonoma Hot Chocolate Mix
2 Tablespoons Hershey’s Caramel Syrup
Pinch of Kosher Salt
Marshmallows for Garnish
In a small sauce pan pour milk and when small bubbles form, add hot chocolate mix and caramel and whisk until well combined. Add pinch of salt. Pour into your favorite mug and top with marshmallows.
I promise you will love this drink for a cozy and delicious start to cooler weather!
