Salted Caramel Hot Chocolate

(Breaking the norm, I have made this post public so that my friends on Twitter without LJ accounts can read this recipe.)

So many people started talking about Starbuck's Salted Caramel Hot Chocolate (SCHC) this fall, that I decided I had to try it for myself, and attempt to recreate the recipe. I have a lot of experience in working with chocolate

That looks/sounds delicious. I was thinking of trying the Starbucks one (because I'm lazy), but then I looked at the nutritional info on their website, and, wow. That's a lot of calories for a beverage, though I guess it's really more of a dessert. Might still have to try one sometime when I'm feeling decadent, but I wonder if people who get them regularly (as I'm sure some do) realize what they're drinking.

Yeah, it's pretty steep. Which is why I've only had one, to see what it was like. When I drink hot chocolate at home, it is usually an 6-8oz serving, half of the standard size that Starbuck's lists. Mine isn't so healthy either (though milk is much better than with cream), but I don't drink that much of it.

This sounds good. My wife is even interested and she doesn't like hot chocolate.

Say everybody have you seen my [Drink] it's big and chocolate and brown. If you ever need a quick pick me up, just put my [drink] in your mouth!

I couldn't help it. It's been in my head for days before this post!
