It is true… I have taken it upon myself to test out a bagillion hot chocolate recipes… I know, I know… it is a tough job but somebody HAS to do it.

And this one — from Gooseberry Patch’s Slow Cooker Fall Favorites (with a small but essential tweak from yours truly) is The BEST Hot Chocolate that I have ever had…

The BEST Crock Pot Hot Chocolate

It is so good that I would serve it in my coffee shop if I owned a coffee shop… which truth be told would be a really odd thing for me to own since I don’t like coffee BUT if I did find myself the owner of a coffee shop, that would be alright as long as I could serve this too because this is all I would want to drink anyhow.

Notes on Crock Pot Hot Chocolate

• Looking for our Crock Star Mugs? You can find them in our store.
• Any crock pot will cook this recipe up nicely. I personally prefer my automatic stirring slow cooker. It automatically stirs every two hours but for this recipe I just hit the manual button when I walk by it to stir things up nicely without ever having to open the lid!
• Recipe adapted from Gooseberry Patch’s Slow Cooker Fall Favorites.
• As with any of our recipes, calorie counts and nutritional information varies greatly depending on which products you choose to use when cooking this dish.
• All slow cookers cook differently, so cooking times are always a basic guideline and should always be tested first in your own slow cooker and time adjusted as needed.
