Starbucks UK is Offering a New Salted Caramel Brownie Hot Chocolate
Katherine Pendrill — November 11, 2018 — Lifestyle
If you're looking for a warm drink to get you through the cold days of fall, Starbucks' new Salted Caramel Brownie Hot Chocolate is the ultimate indulgence. The only catch is that you'll have to be in the UK in order to enjoy it.
Just as the name suggests, the new Salted Caramel Brownie Hot Chocolate is a deliciously indulgent hot chocolate that is meant to taste like salted caramel brownies. The drink starts with steamed milk and mocha, which is then combined with a rich salted caramel sauce for a slightly salty element. But that's not all. The whole drink is then topped with salted caramel brownie-flavored whipped cream, chocolate brownie crumbles, and bits of salted caramel brittle. As the result is a rich, chocolaty drink that is "the perfect balance between sweet and salty."
