Crockpot Hot Chocolate Recipe

I love entertaining in the fall and winter – mostly because it means that the socializing comes to me and I don’t have to bundle up and leave the house!

Last year, I stumbled on making hot drinks in my crockpot – starting with Crockpot Caramel Apple Cider and Crockpot Eggnog Lattes.

How long does it take to make?

Making hot chocolate in the crockpot takes about 2 hours on low and it’s good to give it a stir about every half hour.

Plus, it fills up the house with that amazing chocolate scent – is there any better way to greet your guests?!

Ingredients for Crockpot Hot Chocolate

• 4 cups milk
• 1 cups whipping cream
• 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
• 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
• 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
• 1/2 cup milk chocolate chips
• Whipped cream, optional garnish
• Chocolate shavings, optional garnish
• Marshmallows, optional garnish

Tip: swap out the chocolate chips for whatever you have on hand. Milk chocolate? Cinnamon chips? Butterscotch? Go for it!

Kitchen Tools You May Find Helpful:

1. Place the milk, whipping cream and sweetened condensed milk in the crockpot and stir well to combine.

2. Add in all the chocolate chips and place the lid on the crockpot.
3. Set the heat to low for 2 hours. Remove the lid and give the mixture a thorough stir every 30 minutes or so. Mine was ready just past 1 hour and 30 minutes, but plan to give it 2 hours in case yours takes longer (you can always set to warm if needed).

4. Serve with lots of marshmallows and maybe a spritz of whipped cream. (I went all out with whipped cream, mini marshmallows, chocolate sprinkles, and chocolate syrup.)

This Crockpot Hot Chocolate is perfect for cold-weather fun, especially if it’s too late for caffeine or you will have a mix of ages present!
