Salted Caramel Spiced Hot Chocolate

This Salted Caramel Spiced Hot Chocolate is the perfect drink to warm you up this winter!

The holidays have passed, but the cold weather has not, which means there is still plenty of time to enjoy warm beverages like this Salted Caramel Spiced Hot Chocolate!

I’ve spent most of my life drinking hot chocolate from a powder mix and hot water, as many of us have. And most of the time, I like that juuuust fine. But, it really doesn’t take much longer to make this homemade and it is much more rich and creamy. And, you can customize the flavors to what you like!

I told you awhile back that I’ve recently realized how much I love caramel. And salted caramel is just a whole ‘nother level of yum. So, I had to add some salted caramel sauce to this hot chocolate, which in it’s own right would have been absolutely perfect and amazing. But then I went and threw another flavor into the mix…cinnamon. Cinnamon chips to be exact. Oh. Mah. Gawsh. So over-the-top delicious, I wasn’t sure what to do with myself!
