The sea-salt topping isn’t all salt. If you try just the sea-salt topping, it’s half salty and half sweet.

I honestly don;t think the smoked sea salt flavor comes through much anyway…I used french Gray sea salt for it and it was fine.

Your welcome Marye. I must be pre-diabetic. I am sure the apple would work well for clearing the palate too. I have never read anywhere an apple seeming to get the blood sugar down. It really works well, like immediately. Now I can say I have tried the hot chocolate. It was as good as all the above reviews. Went to Starbucks yesterday and this was good. mmm. Nestle’s Butterfinger instant hot chocolate would do quite well in a pinch as our Starbucks is closing Dec 12. Tried that last night and is very similar, and very good. I forgot in my first note that that was why I mentioned the Heath ice cream. It is salty and sweet, like the hot chocolate. I also have sea salt at home with a built in grinder that grinds it coarsely and after adding the whipped cream to top of the Butterfinger hot chocolate at home and a drizzle of caramel with the salt, it tasted very much like the salt of the Starbucks, to me anyway. I add this because an above note was talking I think about a smoked salt evidently used, which I am sure is preferable but I couldn’t find and the coarse sea salt was good.

thanks charlatte…I don;t have any problem with sweet, rich drinks but I can see how an apple would clear your palate..

My favorite ice cream right now is Breyers Heath. I haven’t tried this hot chocolate from them but have tried that little hot chocolate they have, cant think of the name of it, maybe its just their regular hot chocolate, but it comes in a little cup and is quite good. i think it also is just melted chips. Just in case you would find it helpful, eating a bite or two of an apple helps me with a rich desert or drink. mmm.

I have to say, although the 4th picture is excellent, the 2nd is not brilliant. The foamy bit looks a bit like saliva, and the photo is a bit out of focus. It’s just the salivary bit that’s in focus.
