Salted Caramel Mocha

Craving a Salted Caramel Mocha, but not near a Starbucks? Then make my version of their delicious, sweet and salty drink in under 10 minutes!

Craving a Salted Caramel Mocha, but not near a Starbucks? Then make my version of their delicious, sweet and salty drink in under 10 minutes!

There was a time when I could not even manage one mouthful of coffee.

What the heck was wrong with me?! I loved the smell, but that was it.

Then something magic happened and suddenly I could drink a pretty weak coffee, then it got stronger and stronger. And now I’m addicted and can’t get through a day without a mug of freshly brewed coffee.

And if I walk past a Starbucks? I HAVE to go in and either have a Caramel Macchiato, Pumpkin Spice Latte or a Peppermint Mocha. I’m a creature of habit. Depending on the season I like to stick to the same drink.

My Dad will tell you I grew up, that’s why I like coffee now. But maybe not, I still don’t like Mushrooms and he told me my entire childhood that I’d grow up and like them! 😉

Anyway. I’ve seen and heard about the Salted Caramel Mocha for such a long time, but it has toffee nut syrup, so even though some people say there aren’t any nuts in it, I still like to err on the side of caution. I spend half my life at the Doctors or hospital anyway, so I’d rather avoid going any more than I already have to.

So, what’s a girl to do when she just has to try caramel, salt, coffee and chocolate together?

Make her own of course!

I started my Saturday with this blissful, rich and coffee spiked drink and it was DIVINE.

To start, you need a shot of freshly brewed coffee… OK, tell a lie, I actually had a double shot. It was a Saturday morning.

You can have one shot or two, it depends on how much you love your coffee. 🙂

Then I started making some cocoa. I placed milk, cocoa powder and sugar into a saucepan and brought it to a simmer.

Once the cocoa mixture was warm, I placed some salted caramel sauce into the bottom of a mug and mixed it whilst slowly pouring in the shot of coffee.

Continuing stirring, you then add the cocoa mix and stir until smooth and combined.

There’s your drink. Pretty darn amazing on its own. But, because it was the weekend I felt like it needed something extra… an extravagant top.

I don’t normally like cream, but with this drink, it totally pushed it over the edge awesome. I used squirty cream, then drizzled more salted caramel sauce on top and finished it with some sprinkles.

Then I face planted the whole thing. So. That was a morning.

So, there we have it; a Starbuck’s copycat Salted Caramel Mocha, in under 10 minutes.

    This recipe is a little dangerous! 😉 Looks tasty and simple to prepare, so thanks for the great idea!

  4. Alessandra says

    This looks delicious! It’ll sure save me a lot of money at Starbucks – it’s one of my favorite flavors, but they run out of the salted caramel all the time.

    Oh GOSH. I’ve had the SB’s caramel maccihato and the mocha before but never both of them smashed into one amazing drink! This seriously looks SO darn awesome, Annie! I can never get enough salted caramel in my life. 🙂

  9. Ashley | Spoonful of Flavor says

    17.10.15 at 12:33 am

    Gah! So yummy!! This looks a little too dangerous for the coffee addict in me…;) Now that you’ve got me making this at home though, I’ll be saving the $$ by not going to Starbucks…so it’s ok to have one like every day, right?

  14. Rosemary @anitalianinmykitchen says

    17.10.15 at 7:35 am

    Since there is still no Starbucks here in Italy this is something I will have to try for sure. Looks delicious.

  15. Dee says

    17.10.15 at 7:46 am

    Salted caramel and peppermint mochas are the only drinks I order from Starbucks, but this looks so good, that I’m going to try making my own!

  18. Jenn says

    18.10.15 at 6:57 pm

    Looks amazing to me. I will definitely be giving this a shot. I totally understand about growing into coffee. I couldn’t drink it until I had a job that required me to work the midnight shift while going to school all day. I learned first to tolerate coffee and then later to love it.

  19. Ariel says

    18.10.15 at 7:45 pm

    20.10.15 at 3:10 pm

  24. Raquel says
