Ingredients You’ll Need

Ingredients for crock pot hot chocolate
  • Whole milk – I like whole milk for this recipe just because it helps with the creaminess. You could use whatever milk you like.
  • Semi-sweet chocolate – You can use chocolate chips or chocolate bars. Dark, semi-sweet, or milk chocolate will all work.
  • Heavy cream – You can use heavy cream or half and half.
  • Sweetened condensed milk Using sweetened condensed milk instead of sugar adds a sweet creaminess.
  • Vanilla extract – Adds a mild vanilla flavor. You can leave it out if you want.
  • Toppings – These are optional, but fun! Whipped cream, chocolate shavings, cinnamon, marshmallows, and sprinkles.

Tips & Notes

  • If the mixture is too thick for your liking add more milk.
  • If you have chocolate chips don’t incorporate fully use a stick blender quickly to break it up.
  • If you are in a hurry you can use the high setting on your Crock Pot, just make sure to watch it closely so the chocolate doesn’t burn.
  • You can use different types of chocolate. Experiment with milk chocolate, dark chocolate, and even white chocolate.

Variations and Add-ins

  • Spice it up – Use spices such as cinnamon, nutmeg, chili powder, and even cayenne pepper.
  • Add flavorings – Use peppermint or orange extract, flavored syrups, caramel sauce, or Dalgona whipped coffee.
  • Make it boozie – Add peppermint schnapps, rum chata, or kahlua.
  • Add your favorite toppings – There are so many great toppings such as whipped cream, marshmallows, mini chocolate chips, candy canes, and sprinkles.
