Salted Caramel Mocha
I haven't tasted the Starbucks version, so I have no idea if this does it justice or not, but I do know that this sucker is awesomely delicious. Feel free to use this as a jumping off point to make your own perfect mocha. Make it more or less sweet depending on your tastes, and feel free to toss in a bit more cocoa powder for a deeply chocolate taste.
