INGREDIENTS
- Heavy Cream - 20oz
- 2% milk - 5oz
- Milk Chocolate - 6oz
- Dark Chocolate (70% cocoa or less. Semi-sweet chocolate chips also work) - 6oz
- Caramel - 4oz
- Vanilla extract - 1/2 tsp
- Sea Salt - to taste (optional)
DIRECTIONS
- Chop milk and dark chocolate and add to a large bowl. Use high quality chocolate.
- Combine milk and heavy cream in a sauce pan over medium heat and bring to a simmer. Be careful not to boil it.
- Remove milk/cream from heat and immediately pour it over the chocolate. Stir until glossy and smooth.
- Return mixture back to saucepan, stirring until completely combined.
- Add in your caramel, vanilla, and sea salt and stir until combined. Let simmer for 3-5 minutes, stirring constantly to avoid boiling.
