Spiced Caramel Coffee Recipe: Coffee meets Dessert!

Y’all know how much I love coffee?  Thiiiiiiiiiiis much. True story.

I love it in the mornings and in the afternoon, I love it in the evening underneath the moon….   Can you tell I have kids?

In the morning and in the afternoons I drink my coffee straight up.  But in the evenings? Underneath the moon?  Yeah, that calls for a dessert coffee.

And when coffee meets dessert, something really special happens:  Like this Spiced Caramel Coffee recipe.

Doesn’t it just make you feel all warm and cozy just looking at it?  Curl up in front of the couch with a mug o’ this and your soul will be happy.  Or better yet, skip making an elaborate dessert the next time you have dinner guests, and wow them instead with this delightful feel-good-from-the-inside-out dessert-in-a-cup.  Plus, it feels so fancy when you drizzle that caramel on top!

The base?  A special edition Stabucks Holiday Blend brewed coffee available at Harris Teeter.

The mix-ins?  Glad you asked… Cinnamon syrup, caramel, steamed milk and whipped cream, of course.

It’s totally worth getting a whipped cream mustache for.  Dontcha think?  (Notice I didn’t include  a selfie!)
