Salted Caramel Hot Chocolate

Careful...this is not for the faint of tummy! :)  It super rich but soooo worth it. I've been addicted to Starbuck's Salted Caramel Hot Chocolate for years but this recipe is even better. How? you ask. I have no idea.

Salted Caramel Hot Chocolate

16 oz milk (i used whole)
4 oz dark chocolate (i used chocolate chips or you can crush up your fave kind)
4 oz milk chocolate (again, i used chips)
caramel sauce
sea or kosher salt

Take 8 oz of milk, 4 oz of dark chocolate, salt and heat until melted. Whisk while melting. WHISKING is key for this to be smooth. Continue heating and whisking and add rest of milk and milk chocolate with a spoonful or two of caramel sauce. Continue to heat/whisk til hot and smooth.

Top with whipped cream, caramel drizzle and some salt.

ENJOY :)

Aaaannd....some more pumpkin!

This time, pumpkin pancakes! This recipe is pretty simple and easy to make. And most of it you probably already have in your cabinets. This is the recipe I used...I didn't get a pic of the yumminess :(  But trust me, they're good! Just top off with maple syrup or toppings of your choosing.

Pumpkin Pancakes
1/2 c flour
1/2 c milk
1/2 c pumpkin puree
2 eggs
1/8 c brown sugar
1 t* baking powder
1/4 t ground cinnamon
1/8 t ground nutmeg
1 pinch of salt
1 dash of ground ginger

Mix it all up and cook like regular pancakes. Enjoy!
(This recipe made only 7 pancakes for me.)

*For the non-regular cooker/baker, a small t is for teaspoon, and a capital T is for tablespoon :)

That Pumpkiny Time of Year

its fall...that pumpkiny time of year! i thought i'd share a recipe that has become one of my favorites. pumpkin muffins. so EASY and so DELISH. and yeeeesss, that is a half eaten muffin you see back there!




Pumpkin Muffins
1 box of yellow cake mix
1 can (15 oz., I believe) of pumpkin
1 tsp of cinnamon
1/8 tsp of ground cloves
1/8 tsp nutmeg
(i probably almost double the spices. i like mine spicey but use the recipe as a starting point. i do it to taste.)

throw it all in a bowl. mix well. spray baking spray on your muffin tins. put batter in tins (i like BIG muffins, so it makes about 6 muffins for me. probably 10-12 for normal people.) bake @350 for 20-25 min. i test mine with a metal wirey thing that i got from pampered chef to make sure they're cooked thru.

enjoy!
