Ingredients
- 1 cup strong brewed coffee
- 1 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons caramel sauce
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar (optional)
- 0.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons whipped cream
- 1 tablespoon chopped pecans
- 1 tablespoon additional caramel sauce (for drizzling)

Instructions
Brew a strong cup of coffee using your preferred method (such as a coffee maker or French press). Set aside.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the milk, semi-sweet chocolate chips, caramel sauce, and granulated sugar (if using).
Stir the mixture constantly until the chocolate chips have melted, and the mixture is smooth and heated through. Do not let it boil.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
Pour the brewed coffee into a large mug, then slowly add the chocolate-caramel milk mixture, stirring gently to combine.
Top the mochaccino with a generous swirl of whipped cream.
Sprinkle the chopped pecans on top of the whipped cream for a nutty crunch.
Drizzle additional caramel sauce over the whipped cream and pecans.
Optional: Add a touch of chocolate shavings or a dusting of cocoa powder for an extra indulgent finish.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
