When it comes to feeding a crowd, don’t you just love using your crock pot?! Slow cooker or crockpot…whatever you call it, this recipe for creamy hot chocolate made in your crockpot is the best you’ll ever have. Forget the dry powder hot cocoa mix and go right for the good stuff.
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!
We made a quick video so you can see it in action:

Yum! How many people do you think this would serve?
Not sure. It’s pretty rich, so portion sizes can be smaller. Maybe 8 – 12 people.
Thanks and Merry Christmas!
What size crockpot did you use for this?
I don’t know exact measurements. It’s not the small one. I would say it’s on the large size…but not the largest size. Sorry I’m not much help.
Do you know if there is any way of keeping the leftovers and putting it in the fridge and warm it back up when you want more?
Sure! I think it would be fine.
How many servings does the crock pot hot cocoa serve?
It varies…but it’s about 6-8 servings…depending on the sizes.

What kind of milk would you recommend? 2%, Skim, etc.? This looks yummy and easy. Having some ladies over for a PJ Christmas Party and plan to do a hot chocolate bar. Thanks!
Hi Elizabeth! I wouldn’t go lower than 1%. 2% would be great!
