How to make Creamy Crockpot Hot Chocolate:

How to store Creamy Crockpot Hot Chocolate:

Chocolate chips for hot chocolate:
The recipe is really simple. I’ve made this with milk chocolate chips and semisweet chocolate chips for a more decadent chocolate flavor. I love using Guittard brand milk chocolate chips…they are the best!
Hot Chocolate too sweet?
If you are wanting a more rich hot chocolate with less sweetness, we recommend using a semi sweet chocolate chip rather than milk chocolate chip. You could even try mixing the two to find your perfect level of sweetness.
Hot Chocolate Topping Ideas:
There are so many fun things to top hot cocoa with! To name a few:
- Marshmallows
- Whipped cream
- Crushed peppermint candy canes
- Caramel drizzle
- Chocolate drizzle
