DIRECTIONS

1. Make the caramel sauce: In a small pot, stir the sugar with the water over medium heat. Continue to stir until the mixture comes to a boil, then stop stirring. Cook until the sugar is amber in color and reads 240u00b0 on a candy thermometer.

2. Remove the pot from the heat, and stir in the butter and cream. Be careful: The mixture will bubble and steam vigorously. Season the caramel with the fleur de sel, then carefully pour the caramel into a glass jar. Let cool to room temperature.

3. Make the hot chocolate: In a medium pot set over medium heat, bring the milk and cream to a simmer. Meanwhile, place the chocolate chips and vanilla in a large, heat-safe bowl. Pour the warm milk mixture over the chocolate and stir until smooth.

4. Make the whipped cream: In the bowl of an electric mixer, whip the cream until it holds soft peaks (the cream comes to a point on the whisk but falls over when you lift it out of the bowl). Add the caramel and whip until combined.

5. Pour the hot chocolate into mugs and top with dollops of whipped cream. If desired, drizzle with additional salted caramel sauce. Serve immediately.
