Salted Caramel Hot Chocolate

Salted caramel hot chocolate is a delicious twist on classic hot chocolate. Make it with just a handful of ingredients on the stovetop or in the microwave

Ingredients

2 teaspoons (8g) granulated sugar

1 ½ teaspoon (3g) cocoa powder

1 tablespoon water

1 heaping tablespoon salted caramel sauce * plus optional more for topping

1 cup milk any percentage

Marshmallows optional for topping

Whipped cream optional for topping

Instructions

In a small saucepan, stir together sugar and cocoa powder. Add water and heat over medium heat, stirring continuously until well-combined and smooth.

Stir in caramel sauce followed by milk. Heat, stirring often, until milk is steaming hot. Do not let your hot chocolate come to a boil.

Pour into an 8-ounce mug, top with whipped cream or marshmallows and optional extra caramel sauce, and enjoy!

Notes

*If using regular caramel sauce, add a generous pinch of table salt or fine sea salt along with the caramel.

Microwave Instructions: Combine cocoa powder, sugar, and water in a mug and stir until smooth. Microwave for 15 seconds and stir, making sure the syrup is completely mixed.

Stir in caramel sauce until smooth. Stir in milk and microwave until steaming hot, about 1 to 1 1/2 minutes. Stir once more to make sure everything is well mixed

... Read moreMaking salted caramel hot chocolate is an enjoyable experience that allows for customization. You can adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of sugar or choosing different types of milk, like almond or oat, for a dairy-free alternative. For added richness, consider using dark chocolate or chocolate syrup in the mix. To enhance the presentation, season your whipped cream with a sprinkle of sea salt or crushed caramel candies. For those who love exploring flavors, experiment with infusions such as peppermint extract for a holiday twist or a dash of cinnamon for warmth. Perfect for gatherings, this recipe also makes for a lovely gift when packaged in jars with the dry ingredients and a note of instructions. Remember, the key to a perfect salted caramel hot chocolate is to keep everything well-blended and ensure the chocolate is heated just to the point before boiling. Serve it up in cozy mugs, and you’re guaranteed a crowd-pleaser!
