This hot chocolate is everything we love. Thick, creamy, rich, chocolate-y... it is just plain delicious!
This is definitely not your open-a-packet-and-add-some-water hot cocoa. It actually reminds me more of that sipping chocolate that Starbucks had a few years ago.
Oh and the best part? You throw it all in the slow cooker and you've got perfect hot chocolate without the work!
We like to enjoy ours with Peppermint Schnapps (for the non-pregnant grownups!) or peppermint syrup (for the rest of us!) and lots of marshmallows or whipped cream!
