How To Make Salted Caramel Mocha
In a small saucepan, gently heat the milk and bittersweet chocolate on medium heat until the chocolate is melted. Keep the hot chocolate on low so it stays warm.
In a different saucepan, gently heat the corn syrup until it’s warm. You’ll be able to tell because it’ll slightly bubble.
Add in the sugar and let it cook over medium heat without mixing it too much. Just enough so it’s the sugar and corn syrup are incorporated.
When it turns amber, remove it from the heat and quickly stir in butter.
Add the cream in a steady stream while mixing with the other hand.
Add in sea salt. If it seems to solidify, keep mixing or gently reheat on low until it’s liquid again.
Finally, mix in two teaspoons of salted caramel into the mocha, and serve!
