Today officially kicks off the fall season, so I thought we could celebrate with something warm to drink…even if your weather might not call for it now. I am not a huge coffee person, so my go-to cold weather beverage is always hot cocoa! My all time favorite is Starbucks salted caramel hot chocolate, but this recipe might change that. It’s definitely decedent…so we will pretend that it’s calorie free. 😉
Salted Caramel Hot Chocolate
Ingredients:
- 1 ½ cups milk
- ¼ cup sugar
- ½ cup cream
- 1 oz. Milk chocolate

Hi, Looks so good but, I noticed that you didn’t say how much sugar to add with the chocolate. Can you let me know how much sugar you use. Thanks. Enjoy your site.
Peggy, I’m so sorry I’m a little behind on answering comments! It’s a ¼ cup Sugar. I’m going to update the recipe now. Thanks for letting me know!! 🙂
