Try Salted Caramel Hot Chocolate For Dessert

By Paul Murphy


When it comes to quick snacks after a meal, there are many options but few that are considered special. In a lot of cases, a person may want something that is quick or fairly light in consistency. Instead of gorging down cookies or something that lacks taste, try salted caramel hot chocolate for a change.

Although hot chocolate may seem like a drink for children, this is not to confused with the overly sweet drink that comes in a pouch. This rich beverage is made with premium dark chocolate and a thick salty caramel sauce. The balance of tastes makes this a different kind of sipping experience that only true connoisseurs of chocolate will enjoy.

Most call for bittersweet chocolate, which has a slightly bitter taste but when mixed with milk, there is just enough sweetness to complement the salt caramel. Although some recipes may use regular caramel, those that use sea salt give this hot beverage an interesting blend of flavors. The right combination is what makes this beverage an after dinner favorite.

Avocado toast is something that most people do not understand until they have tried it for themselves. Normally made with sliced artisan grain bread that has been toasted with garlic oil or butter before joining with smashed or sliced avocados, there are many possibilities. Some people top with baby spinach leaves, a fried egg, or sliced tomatoes.

While kids may like the extra sweetness, most adults go for the smooth texture right next to the flavor combination. Since salted caramel is already rich with butter flavor, there is no need for more sugar or milk products. When caramel sauce is used with the drinks prepared at the coffee shop, most fans enjoy licking the bottom of the cup to get the last hint of that thick, buttery goodness.

For those who find a recipe or brand they appreciate, they should not keep this to themselves. This type of hot chocolate may sound overly sweet to most but when they try it for the first time, they are likely to be pleasantly surprised. If a person likes to have friends over, they may want to serve this on cool afternoons or evenings instead of coffee.

Preparing most of these dishes is fairly easy for those who like to hang out in the kitchen. While some like to make their hot chocolate from scratch, there are some kits that offer that same restaurant quality. The only thing that users should note is if they select another type of milk other than what is indicated. Nut or plant beverages do not always retain their texture in the heat.

Although some kids may like this drink, grownups should have something special for themselves. Sometimes kids like the sweetness of milk chocolate, which gives this drink a different profile. While a shot of rum or vodka may be the ideal chaser for those especially tense days, many who have tried this say the natural flavors are more than enough for a nice mental escape from reality.
