tips to make Crockpot Hot Chocolate

• Use good quality chocolate chips for the best flavor.
• Stir every 20–30 minutes so the chocolate melts evenly.

• If it gets too thick after chilling, thin with a little milk when you reheat.
• Taste and add a pinch more salt or a drop more vanilla if needed.

variation (if any)

• Add a shot of espresso for mocha flavor.
• Use milk chocolate chips for a sweeter drink.
• For a dairy-free version, use almond or oat milk and coconut cream.
• Add a teaspoon of cocoa powder or a pinch of cinnamon or cayenne for a twist.

FAQs

Q: Can I make this on the stove instead of a crockpot?
A: Yes. Heat gently on low, stir often until chocolate melts and the mix is smooth.

Q: How many servings does this make?
A: This makes about 6 to 8 cups, depending on mug size.

Q: Can I use dark chocolate instead of semi-sweet?
A: Yes. Dark chocolate will make the drink less sweet and more bitter. Add a little extra sweetened condensed milk if you want it sweeter.

Q: Can I double the recipe?
A: You can if your crockpot is large enough. Keep the same cook time and stir more often.

Q: Is sweetened condensed milk necessary?
A: It adds sweetness and creaminess. You can use sugar and extra cream, but the texture will change.
