Crock Pot Hot Chocolate

Ok…. drum roll please… the first recipe to be released from my total foodie weekend is a drink! It’s what you guys asked for and is perfect as we head into winter and fall.

I think one of the best things about being a food blogger is dreaming up and developing new recipes! Hot chocolate might not be the first to come to mind when it’s 85 degrees out (like it is here today), however when I was brainstorming recipe ideas with my buddy Marye in Utah last weekend, this just sounded so good.

Also, it photographed beautifully! Now the challenge was to come home and develop a recipe in no time flat!

That’s exactly what I did and let me tell you – Crock Pot Hot Chocolate is going to be your new favorite sip!

Topping it with a sprinkle of confetti? Brilliant! This crock pot hot chocolate is beautiful, creamy and delicious. Pretty, girly, fun and most importantly…. easy! If you’re having a party, this hot chocolate will feed a crowd and everyone will be coming back for seconds!

What’s even better, is this creamy, delicious hot chocolate is made in your slow cooker!

Crock Pot Hot Chocolate for a Crowd

Perfect for a party, this is hands off! Serve this on your counter or buffet with a ladle nearby. Add a bowl of marshmallows, whipped cream and jars of sprinkles so your guests can help themselves.

What can I do with leftover hot chocolate?

• So you have leftovers?  (Well honestly, I really don’t think you will, but just in case – here’s what you do!) Allow the hot chocolate to cool completely. Pour it into to a pitcher, cover or seal and refrigerate. Delicious chocolate milk! Or pour into your favorite mug and reheat it in the microwave. See me – totally thinking ahead!
• Use a funnel and pour it into the original milk jug – it’s a perfect container for leftovers. That way, you can shake it up well prior to reheating.

How long will it keep in the refrigerator?

• You can keep the easy crock pot hot chocolate leftovers for up to four days.

How do you make hot chocolate creamy?

The best way to make creamy, rich hot chocolate is to use cocoa powder and real chocolate chips. This hot chocolate recipe is the perfect combination!

This easy crock pot hot chocolate recipe will feed a crowd!

What can I serve with slow cooker hot chocolate?

I would keep your party simple and easy and surround your buffet with some simple cookies – frosted butterscotch cookies, 4 ingredient peanut butter cookies or butter cookies – all delicious choices!

Can I add alcohol to this recipe?

If you’re looking for an adult beverage, you can easily make this hot chocolate boozy by adding:
