Waking up today to yet another snow here in Pennsylvania had me thinking about making a batch of These Hot Caramels for my kids today. Today, they only have a 2 hour delay and not the 10th snow that we were almost positive was going to happen. I am actually disappointed…I had the whole day planned out. So I am already looking forward to the next storm, call me crazy but my family and just love snow!
Hot Chocolate is something that just about everyone adores. I bet that you have a least one incredible memory from your childhood as well as your adult life tied into a warm cup of chocolate decadence…Am I right? How about trying something a little different and possibly create a new memory?
I like chocolate but I LOVE caramel!
So years ago I experimented with mixing in leftover homemade caramel into warm milk and I was smitten with the result!
A few months ago I began contributing recipes to a blogger and website I admire – Jo-Lynne Shane and her site Musings of a Housewife where you will find topics on everything from food and fashion to wine, running and gluten free eating. For the recipe please visit Musings of a Housewife by clicking here.
Enjoy!

March 4, 2014 at 4:59 amOh man! These look INCREDIBLE! I do love me some caramel. When I worked at Starbucks, I'd make caramel and vanilla steamers (just milk + syrup). Perfectly comforting on a cold day! Can't wait to go scope out the recipe. And I'm with you–we didn't get any snow, but I was secretly hoping for some (mainly so my sister would have off and I wouldn't have to babysit!)

March 4, 2014 at 1:30 pmOh wow…this looks so delicious!! I'm heading over to Musings of Housewife right now for that recipe. I think it's perfect for this cold, no…FRIGID weather that we've been having!! I know what you mean about loving snow. Well, right now I hate it, but when my kids were younger, I loved it too. It was the best when there was a snow day..and I had them all to myself for the day. It's all about the comfort thing.. I'd plan on baking a loaf of fresh bread, chocolate chip cookies, or something warm and delicious to make us feel cozy while we played games or watched movies. 🙂 I totally get it. My kids are all grown up now…but I still get excited when there is a snow day, even though it doesn't have anything to do with me anymore!!
I'm not sure where you are in PA, but we have a cabin that my husband built about 2 years ago, on the NY & PA border! I know that really means nothing…but I get silly over that kind of stuff. I dont' know why, but I do. Ok, going to check out that lovely recipe.. 🙂
