Hot Chocolate and Salted Caramel Sauce

February 23, 2016 By Shannah Coe 5 Comments

This post was sponsored by Starbucks as part of an Influencer Activation for Influence Central. I received compensation and complimentary products to facilitate my review.

The past few weeks have been the craziest of weather days. We had one weekend where the temperature was in the single digits and, with the wind blowing, it felt like below zero. We had to go out in the morning but then I wanted to do nothing but sit on the couch to get warm and cozy. We made some hot chocolate and topped it with the most amazing salted caramel sauce for the perfect treat to warm us up.

Warm up with the indulgent combination of salt and rich caramel sauce. It makes any dessert or drink instantly better

hot chocolate and salted caramel sauce are the perfect combination

The kids were busy playing for a few minutes so I grabbed some Starbucks® Hot Cocoa K-Cup® pods and brewed up a few cups of delicious hot chocolate. The K-Cup® pods are perfect because I can make hot chocolate quickly and every can get the exact thing they want. Each cup is made with real cocoa and non-fat milk so they taste amazing.

Mathlete wanted the Starbucks® Classic Hot Cocoa and he topped his with a delicious artisan marshmallow from the cozy collection we received.

I went for the Salted Caramel Hot Cocoa and then topped it with whipped cream and the most amazing salted caramel sauce. The hot cocoa, combined with the warm blanket from the Cozy collection was the perfect way to warm up after our frigid morning.
