Salted-Caramel-Hot-Chocolate

Salted caramel hot chocolate – whoohoo!  Caramel and salt are a match made in heaven.  This recipe uses a combination of half & half and milk which gives the hot chocolate a perfect consistency.  And it is incredibly easy to make, not to mention super-quick!

Making-Salted-Caramel-Hot-Chocolate

The recipe starts with making your caramel base.  Caramel is simply melted sugar with a touch of butter.  Once heated you’ll notice that it takes on that caramel color rather quickly.

Keep in mind that when you add the half & half / milk to the caramel it will seize up and become hard.  This is because the cold milk reacts with the heated sugar to harden the caramel – just keep on heating the mixture and eventually it will melt back to a liquid base.

Amazing taste! I was very skeptical of using salt in my hot chocolate but it actually paired wonderful with the caramel flavor.
