This post is part of the DFB #OnTheList series, where we feature eats you’ve GOT to have while you’re at Disney! Let us know what’s on YOUR Disney Food Bucket List @DisneyFoodBlog #OnTheList!
If the visions of sugarplums that dance in your head around this time of year are accompanied by any of the caramel treats served at Karamell-Küche in Epcot’s Germany Pavilion, then you’ve gotta check out the Hot Salted Caramel — this year dubbed the Caramel Kiss — that we’re featuring on a special holiday edition of #OnTheList this week!
As you stroll around World Showcase enjoying the music and stories by the Holiday Storytellers, you can also experience the holiday culinary traditions of the countries represented in the Showcase Pavilions.
Germany Holiday Show
Before or after you enjoy listening to Helga share her country’s traditions in the Germany Pavilion (with a little help from her favorite Nutcracker), you should really stop by the Prost! kiosk-stand-Christkindlmarkt-thingy to check out the festive beverages.
Prost! Holiday Drinks Stand
The traditional German drink of warm, spiced Glühwein can be found here. It’s often the star beverage. And while I’m certainly in favor of that, my recommendation is that you consider the other Specialty Beverages, like this year’s Caramel Kiss!
Prost Menu in Epcot’s Germany
Perhaps you’ve heard of Drinking Chocolate… but how about Drinking Caramel? Because THAT’S essentially what the Caramel Kiss is: warm, rich, buttery, melted caramel, custom made for sipping. And while that may sound a little off, I’m asking you to trust me on this one.

I don’t think you’ll regret it.
Now, it’s BEYOND rare that I recommend passing by Karamell-Küche, but listen: like Christmas itself, Hot Salted Caramel only comes ‘round once a year at Epcot. Plus, it’s all in the name of celebrating Werther’s Caramel, so I think we’re in the clear 😉 .

As they say in Germany… Prost!

Now I know where the first stop for my daughter and me will be at EPCOT!!
Ooh, what’s the Caramel S’more on the menu? Has anyone tried that?
@Shelley – yes, it looks like they did a review back in 2014: http://www.disneyfoodblog.com/2014/10/07/review-caramel-bacon-square-and-caramel-smore-at-epcots-karamell-kuche/. I only know because I did some investigating when I saw it!
How does the Caramel Kiss compare to the Hot Butterbeer over at Universal? When I had the warm Butterbeer last Jan it also reminded me of caramel version of a thin hot chocolate.
Only thing missing is the KINDERPUNSCH, the kids’ non-alcoholic version of the Glühwein. I had it all over Germany during my Weihnachtsmarkt visits.
Brian — I love this idea! Thanks for sharing. I think I’ll make some at our house this weekend!
I just tried this last week and it was amazing!!!!!!! It was pretty hot that day so I went and added a couple of ice cubes to it. The flavor didn’t change at all! It made the drink have a nice cold and warm mix.
I had this back in December 2014, when it was still called Salted Hot Caramel. It is AMAZING, but quite rich. Drink it slowly or you might feel a bit of a sugar overload. Regardless, I highly recommend it.
