 Crockpot Hot Chocolate

Crockpot Hot Chocolate is a simple and delicious way to make a large batch of creamy, rich hot chocolate, perfect for holiday gatherings or cozy nights in. Here's how to make it:


Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
  • 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
  • 6 cups whole milk
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips (or a mix of milk and dark chocolate chips for a more balanced flavor)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt (optional, to enhance the chocolate flavor)

Instructions:

  1. Combine Ingredients:

    • In a large crockpot, combine the heavy cream, sweetened condensed milk, whole milk, vanilla extract, and chocolate chips. Add salt if using.

  2. Mix:

    • Stir the ingredients together to combine.

  3. Cook:

    • Cover the crockpot and cook on low for 2 hours, stirring occasionally to ensure the chocolate chips melt evenly and the mixture stays smooth.

  4. Stir Well:

    • After 2 hours, stir the hot chocolate well to make sure all the chocolate chips are fully melted and the mixture is smooth and creamy.

  5. Serve:

    • Keep the hot chocolate on the "keep warm" setting once it's ready to serve. Stir occasionally to prevent a skin from forming on the top.
    • Ladle the hot chocolate into mugs and top with your favorite garnishes such as whipped cream, marshmallows, a drizzle of chocolate syrup, or a sprinkle of cocoa powder.

Tips:

  • For Extra Richness: You can add an extra cup of heavy cream or replace some of the milk with half-and-half.
  • Flavor Variations: Add a few drops of peppermint extract for a minty twist, or a teaspoon of ground cinnamon and a pinch of cayenne pepper for a spicy Mexican hot chocolate.
  • Serving Ideas: Set up a hot chocolate bar with various toppings like crushed candy canes, caramel sauce, flavored syrups, chocolate shavings, and sprinkles.

Storage:

  • Leftover hot chocolate can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave before serving.

Enjoy this warm and comforting Crockpot Hot Chocolate, perfect for keeping cozy on chilly days!
