Hello, chocolate goodness!  Frozen hot chocolate has become one of our new favorite drinks when it is blazing hot outside. 90 plus degrees keeps us reaching for more cold drinks!

A few weeks ago my daughter and I went through the drive-thru at Dunkin’ Donuts for an iced coffee.  She saw the frozen hot chocolate poster on the window and decided to try that instead of the coffee.  

One sip and she was instantly a fan of that sweet frozen drink.  I think she has asked every single time we have gone out if we can stop and buy another one.

Instead of driving to the store and spending money all the time, I decided to show our girlie how easy it is to make a copycat frozen hot chocolate in our own kitchen.

So you may be wondering why is it called frozen hot chocolate. It is because this sweet frozen treat is made with a packet of hot chocolate and ice. 

And when you make it at home, you can customize the flavors in your mug.  I made two different versions. A plain chocolate one for my daughter and a fun jazzed up version for me. This Salted Caramel Mocha Latte was the inspiration for my drink.

Leftover coffee, some Salted Caramel Mocha Creamer, and an extra salted caramel hot chocolate packet made the most amazing drink. Regular hot chocolate mix works just as well.

Holy cow!!  Was it ever good!!! It was like a milkshake, slushie, and frosty all in one with a sweet and salty flavor!  The only thing that would make it better would be having a batch of Salted Caramel Brownie Cookies to accompany this amazing drink.

How to make a Frozen Salted Caramel Mocha Hot Chocolate:

1. Pour cooled coffee, creamer, and hot chocolate packet to a blender. (full recipe at bottom of post)
2. Add ice and pulse until thick and creamy.
3. Pour into glasses and add toppings!

Tips about this frozen hot chocolate recipe:

• Make sure your coffee is cooled completely before you add it to everything.
• Mix the coffee, creamer, and hot chocolate mix together before adding the ice.
• Don’t want the coffee in your drink? Use milk instead.
• Start with 1 cup of ice and pulse the mixture.  Add more ice if you need to thicken it.
• Add Cool Whip, syrups, and mini marshmallows to make the drink look extra fancy.
• Sit and relax in the shade with a big mug of chocolate goodness!
• Repeat each day!

I see many more frozen hot chocolates in our future this summer!
