Salted Caramel Hot Chocolate

The Salted Caramel Hot Chocolate recipe blends milk, bittersweet chopped chocolate, and salted caramel sauce in a saucepan. The mixture is stirred and gently heated to a simmer to melt the chocolate and meld the flavors together. After removing from heat, it is poured into a mug and topped with freshly whipped cream and an additional caramel drizzle.

The bittersweet chocolate provides depth and slight bitterness while the salted caramel adds a creamy sweetness with a savory note. The whipped cream topping adds richness and smooth texture to the drink.

This hot chocolate can be adjusted by multiplying the recipe for multiple servings. For a dairy-free option, milk can be substituted with a plant-based alternative.
