Fleur de Sel Hot Chocolate offers up dark chocolate in a rich base of milk and cream, with a pinch of sea salt to tantalize your taste buds. The combination of sweet, dark, velvety chocolate and salt is enticingly delicious.
I love hot chocolate, chocolate chaud, drinking chocolate, and every other hot drink made with velvety chocolate and cream. My morning beverage is French chocolat chaud but I do like to try variations on that recipe.
This week I decided to try a Fleur de Sel chocolate chaud, otherwise known as sea salt hot chocolate.
I love the salty sweet combination of chocolate with salt. Although I have made salted brownies, salted caramels, and several other salted desserts, I have never made salted hot chocolate so I thought I would try it.
This recipe is easy and delicious, I hope you try it, too!

Kick it up. A shot of bourbon or Bailey’s Irish cream will add some extra flavor.
Double the batch. Typically I make a double batch and put whatever is left over into a pitcher. It thickens up considerably and tastes even better the next day.
Change the toppings. Try marshmallows or marshmallow fluff, or sprinkle some crushed peppermint candies on top of the whipped cream.
Storage
Drink immediately or refrigerate and wait for it to thicken. Reheat or drink cold.
