Salted Caramel Hot Chocolate Is A Decadent Treat

By Paul Murphy


Having a nice drink after a long day can be refreshing when it comes time to relax. Although some people may like to indulge in spirits, there are some classic nonalcoholic favorites that may also fall into that category. Sometimes, people like to have that special beverage when they want to wind down for the day. For those who prefer sweet drinks, salted caramel hot chocolate may be the answer.

Kids of all ages are falling in love with this beverage, as it is easy to make at home. At one time, a person had to make a special trip to their nearest coffee retailer just to get a taste. Now, there are many brands and recipes that are available for anyone to try. However, the idea is to get that nice balance of salty and sweet with a hint of dark chocolate flavor.

The idea serving display will have a dozen or so small mugs or cups next to a tray of slightly sweet baked goods. Hard cookies with a mild flavor, like Danish butter, are the best choices since they will not overpower the taste of the chocolate. Guests may find this to be a nice dessert alternative.

For those who are watching their waistline, it may be possible to use reduced fat milk when making this recipe or prepared mix at home. Whole milk, with the buttery caramel, gives this drink a robust texture but a compromise may be worth trying out. However, using artificial sweeteners or plant based milk products may throw the flavor off balance.

This is not only simple to make but is considered healthy when topped with fruits, protein, or vegetables. It is also very filling for an early morning that is not fried or covered in sugar. To make appetizers, should cut bread into small pieces after toasting with a dollop of mashed avocado and a modest selection of toppings. These may include bacon bits, cheese crumbles, or dried fruit pieces.

For those who would rather serve this at home, there are many approaches. While there are some decent instant mixes that are good, not all are made the same. So it may be best to go with one that does not have a lot of sugar but lists dark cocoa as one of the main ingredients.

Next is the salted caramel sauce. Although some who buy regular caramel say that the taste is not the same, or is too sweet, finding a brand that uses real sea salt may be a challenge. This is why some fans prefer to make theirs from scratch. The great thing about this method is they will have enough for more decadent drinks in the near future without having to travel.

Presenting an exciting food display for guests will always leave someone in awe. Chances are likely they will have the opportunity to try a dish they have only heard about but feel comfortable enough to give it a try. When planning such an intimate event, it always helps to keep things as simple as possible so that hosts and guests will be comfortable.
