Happiness in slow cooker is what you get when you make Slow Cooker hot chocolate. This rich and creamy hot cocoa has the flavors you love with the ease of being cooked in a slow cooker.
Slow Cooker Hot Chocolate
The first time I made hot chocolate in the slow cooker the kids were giving me “the look” like I was totally crazy. They know I love using my slow cooker to make dinner, but they were not on board with me attempting hot chocolate in the slow cooker.
For some reason they thought it was a totally crazy idea. I was totally ready to prove them wrong.
Their opinions changed quickly once they took a sip of this decadent hot chocolate made in the slow cooker. They all loved the rich chocolaty taste of this homemade hot chocolate.
They have since been asking me to dump all the slow cooker hot cocoa ingredients in the crockpot in the morning so they can enjoy it all day long lately. I am totally ok with this, and I have been finding myself grabbing a cup or 2 as well!
This hot cocoa is perfect for enjoying all day long or serving for a large crowd.
