Game Changing Hot Chocolate? Why this is better than the average hot chocolate from a mix?
* uses mostly milk instead of water for chocolate which is much richer
* caramel is mixed into the milk giving a caramel tasting foam that distributes the flavor better and doesn’t all sink to the bottom of the cup.
* there is caramel in it so of course it’s better!
Hot Chocolate with Salted Caramel Foam
Whisk 2 1/2 tablespoons of @ghiradelli hot chocolate mix with about 2 tablespoons of hot water in your cup. Add 6 ounces of milk to foamer and add 1 1/2 tablespoons of salted Caramel* then heat and foam. Pour hot caramel foam over chocolate mix in your cup and top with a caramel drizzle and some mini chocolate chips. This yummy idea came from my foodie daughter and is one of many great things she makes. Thank you Peanut!
Variations
-top with whipped cream and then add caramel and chips
-Make it a mocha by adding 4 ounces of strong coffee and then topping with milk, caramel and chips
*Trader Joes makes a great salted caramel but today I made my own with @sallysbakingaddiction’s recipe for Salted Caramel which is phenomenal and super easy! The only variations on her recipe I did were cooking the sugar on medium heat and I don’t stir my sugar as its melting into caramel. I swirl it in the pan and wait until it’s liquid to begin stirring if needed. #hotchocolate #saltedcaramel #caramel #winterdrinks #chocolate #holidaydrinks #homemade #foodie #wheatfreelife #drinks #easy #foodvideos #yum #shorts
