Butterscotch Hot Chocolate Recipes

Steps:

• Place all ingredients in a saucepan and heat to medium, but not a boil. Whisk thoroughly.
• Lower heat to low and cover with a lid. Cook for 20-30 minutes.
• Optionally, sometimes I like to make it a little frothy, so I whip it with a submersion blender, right before serving. Or I have a special kettle I make cocoa in, as seen in picture. Very good.
• Serve with homemade marshmallows or a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream.

Steps:

• In a mug, dissolve instant chocolate mix with hot milk. Stir in butterscotch schnapps.

Steps:

• Prepare hot chocolate according to directions on package, or make up a cup of my Dairy-Free and Delicious Hot Cocoa (#58596).
• Add 1 1/2 oz butterscotch schnapps, or more to taste.
• Stir and enjoy!

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, heat milk and cream over medium heat until bubbles form around sides of pan (do not boil). Remove from the heat; whisk in the brown sugar, cocoa, butterscotch topping and vanilla until smooth. Return to the heat; cook and stir until heated through. Pour into mugs; sprinkle with marshmallows.

Steps:

• Put the butter in a medium saucepan and add both sugars. Cook over medium heat until the butter is melted, whisking to combine, then cook, stirring constantly with a heatproof spatula or a wooden spoon, until the butterscotch begins to smoke, 5 to 10 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium-­low and continue cooking and stirring until the butterscotch is very dark and registers 300°F (150°C)-or very slightly above-on an instant-­read thermometer, about 10 minutes.
• Remove from the heat and very carefully whisk in the water to stop the cooking. Whisk in the cream, then whisk in the milk, rum, if using, and salt. Gently reheat over low heat, stirring (the acid in the sugars will cause the mixture to break if overheated). Drink right away, or pour into a Thermos for sipping later.
• Do Ahead: The butterscotch drink can be made ahead, cooled, transferred to a lidded container, and refrigerated for up to 5 days. Reheat as instructed in step 2 above.

Steps:

• Place the milk in a small saucepan over medium heat for 5 minutes or until it almost boils. Remove from heat.
• Divide the chocolate among 2 tall heatproof glasses. Pour over the hot milk and butterscotch schnapps.
• Top with marshmallows to serve.
