Try Salted Caramel Hot Chocolate For Dessert

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.

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.

Anyone who does not care about cutting calories may wonder about which finger foods may complement this beverage. Small but mildly spiced hard baked goods are a good choice. Imported almond biscotti, shortbread, or speculoos cookies are perfect companions since these are not overly sweet and have enough flavor to complement this type of hot chocolate.

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.

Another idea would be to make a couple of quarts and pour inside a large portable thermostat for long trips or small gatherings of close friends. This drinks can also bring good feelings when served before office meetings or pot luck lunches. Those who are trying this out for the first time are likely to be impressed with the strong flavor profile and silky texture.

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.
