CHAI LATTE BARS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly butter a 9-by-13-inch baking dish; line with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on 2 sides. Butter the parchment. Whisk the flour, oats, malted milk powder, cardamom, ginger, cinnamon, cloves and salt in a large bowl.
• Beat the butter and brown sugar in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the egg and vanilla and beat until combined. Reduce the mixer speed to low; beat in the flour mixture until just incorporated. Transfer the batter to the prepared pan and spread evenly.
• Bake until the top is golden brown and the edges start to pull away from the sides of the pan, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from the oven and sprinkle with the white chocolate, then return to the oven until the chocolate softens, about 45 seconds. Remove from the oven and spread the chocolate into a smooth layer. Top with nonpareils. Transfer to a rack and let cool completely, then lift out of the pan using the parchment; cut into squares.

FROZEN CARAMEL LATTE

Steps:

• Place the espresso, caramel sauce, and sugar into a blender pitcher. Blend on high until the caramel and sugar dissolve into the espresso. Pour in the milk and add the ice; continue blending until smooth and frothy. Top with whipped cream to serve.

FROZEN S'MORES LATTES

Steps:

• Dissolve the instant coffee in 1 tablespoon warm water; add to a high-powered blender. Add the ice, milk and Toasted Marshmallow Syrup to the blender and blend until smooth and creamy.
• Squirt whipped cream in the bottom of each of 2 tall, wide glasses and drizzle them with chocolate syrup. Divide the frozen latte between the glasses. Top each with whipped cream, chocolate syrup, graham cracker crumbs and 1 toasted jumbo marshmallow.
• Thread the marshmallows onto 2 disposable chopsticks and cook over the open flame of a stove until toasted all over, about 2 minutes. (Alternatively, line the baking sheet of a toaster oven with foil coated in nonstick spray, add the marshmallows and broil, flipping once, until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side.)
• Combine the sugar and 1 cup water in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil and simmer over medium heat until the sugar is dissolved, about 3 minutes.
• Reduce the heat to low and add the toasted marshmallows to the saucepan. Cook, stirring continuously and turning down the heat if the mixture starts to bubble up around the edges of the saucepan, until the marshmallows are completely dissolved into an opaque mixture, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh strainer and whisk in the vanilla extract and salt. Cool completely Store in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 1 month.
