I received some salted chocolate covered caramels as a gift years ago and fell in love. I know it sounds bizarre, but it really works. If you like chocolate covered pretzels it's the same theory. It's not a lot of salt, just enough to really bring out the sweetness. The SB hot chocolate is the same way, but you have to drink it with the lid off. That's the only way the flavors blend together when you drink it. For me, it only works if you have chocolate, caramel, and salt. If you lose the choc or caramel it's not good.
If you want to try my favorite candy, it's Fran's Gray Salt Caramels, available at Whole Foods or here.

Brown sauce in tea..now that just sounds gross..I'm sure it's probably something like molasses or something that would be good, but it just makes me think of brown gravy LOLOL
Anyway..ok..had a FUNNN night tonight!! My D18 and I went to Wild Wing Cafe for karaoke night..HAD a blast!! We didn't get up and sing..but a lot of people did, some good, some REALLY bad, and a lot in between! The BEST part was at some points they sort of had an "intermission" and had some line dancing kind of stuff, sorta like the electric slide, but not..and D18 and I totally got up and danced both times (in my SASSY boots no less LOLOL)..and then danced again with some other ladies that were up front later on LOLOL!! It was a lot of fun, got to sit with some crazy people, and just were dorks and had fun

Can't remember the title. It had Colin Farrell in it and he was a thief and not good at it. He and some other really bad thieves were then trying to rob a bank and screwed it all up of course. It was pretty funny actually. Colin was the one putting the brown sauce in his tea, then the other said that is disgusting, then they tried it and said that it actually was pretty good...
There is Ordinary Decent Criminal, that is based in Ireland and is about Michael Lynch. More criminal 'gang' acitvities in that one. Michael Lynch is played by Kevin Spacey.

I have not tried the Salted Caramel Hot Chocolate, but since I love chocolate covered pretzels and chocolate covered potato chips, I will have to give that a try, too!

LOS ANGELES (Zap2it.com) - The filmmakers of the Irish ensemble action-comedy “Intermission” have a bit of advice about one of the film’s more innocuous scenes: Don’t try it at home.
In one of the film supermarket stocker John (Cillian Murphy) and his pal Oscar (David Wilmot) steal a case of the condiment known as brown sauce. At a loss of what to do with the saucy surplus, they begin adding it to everything, including their coffee, and even convince fellow conspirators (Colin Farrell and Brian O’Byrne) to try it.
Cast mate Kelly MacDonald enlightens Zap2it.com about the European condiment.
“It’s spicy, kind of like ketchup … a bit like steak sauce,” she says. “Colin and a few other people tried it [in their coffee] and said it was revolting.”
“It’s disgusting,” confirms director John Crowley, who let curiosity get the better of him.
Taking pity on his actors, Crowley even tried to replace the sauce with a prop — a chocolate-syrup mixture — in one key scene, which had disastrous results.
“Around take 11 or 12, they were really beginning to gag and feel sick [because they had to] swallow it during the scene,” says the director. “It was the first scene we shot that day at 8 o’clock in the morning, and a few of them had ‘trouble’ later on. I won’t go into details on that one.”
“Intermission,” a seriocomic tale about love, sex, death and brown sauce, opens in limited release on Friday, March 19.(US)
