   Add the Dark Sea Salt Caramel truffles to the hot chocolate and stir gently until they melt, infusing the drink with their rich caramel flavour.

4. Enhance with Sea Salt
   Taste the hot chocolate and, if needed, add a small pinch of sea salt to balance the sweetness and enhance the flavours.

5. Serve and Garnish
   Pour the hot chocolate into mugs, top with whipped cream if desired, and garnish with an extra pinch of sea salt or a drizzle of caramel sauce for added indulgence.
