Why Use a Slow Cooker for Hot Chocolate?

 

Using a slow cooker for hot chocolate offers several benefits. It allows you to prepare a large batch without constant stirring, making it perfect for parties or family gatherings. The slow cooking process helps the flavours meld together beautifully, resulting in a deep, rich taste. Plus, it keeps your hot chocolate warm for hours, so you can serve it whenever your guests are ready.

 

 

Tips for Achieving the Perfect Hot Chocolate Consistency

 

 

  • Give it a stir every 30 minutes to ensure everything mixes well and prevents burning at the bottom.
  • If you prefer a thicker hot chocolate, add more chocolate or reduce the amount of milk slightly.
  • Adjust sweetness by adding more sugar if needed.

 

Customisation Ideas For Slow Cooker Hot Chocolate

 

Feel free to personalise your hot chocolate! Here are some ideas:

  • Use your favourite chocolate or even leftover Christmas chocolate (if you have any!)
  • Try adding vanilla extract or a pinch of cinnamon for extra warmth.
  •  Top with whipped cream, marshmallows, or even crushed biscuits for added texture.
  • Make it non-alcoholic, by skipping the Baileys and replacing it with cream and a dash of vanilla syrup/extract.
