Ingredients
- 2 cups milk, preferably whole
- 1/4 – 1/2 cup bittersweet chocolate chips, I recommend Ghirardelli
- 1/2 cup caramel sauce, recipe link follows
- Sweetened whipped cream or vanilla marshmallows
- Grated chocolate for garnish, optional
- Caramel Sauce, recipe below
Directions
Make the caramel sauce as directed, then let it cool a bit. Warm the milk in a medium saucepan over medium heat. When the milk is warm, add the chocolate chips and caramel, then cook while whisking constantly until the chocolate is fully melted. Let it cool slightly, then serve warm with sweetened whipped cream or miniature marshmallows on top. Drizzle each serving with 1 Tbsp caramel sauce, and add grated chocolate if you’d like. For a richer cup, you can use up to 1/2 cup bittersweet chocolate chips and stir in more caramel sauce if desired.
