Mmm Salted Caramel Hot chocolate sounds delicious! And so easy!
This sounds so delicious! My Aunt served hot chocolate in her slow cooker at our last family party. Such a great way to make it!
Yum! Salted caramel is my absolute favourite! This would be perfect for a party.
I love anything salted caramel. It’s getting cold here in South America, we’ll enjoy this delicious hot chocolate!
I made this for Halloween and handed out during trick or treating. It was a HUGE hit. I doubled the recipe and did add some more choc chips as I felt I only tasted caramel.
Can you use semi-sweet chips for a richer chocolate flavor? I’m not a fan of milk chocolate.
Yes, you can use semi-sweet. Enjoy!
Can you use fine sea salt instead?
Sure, you can add fine sea salt to taste.
