Homemade Hot Chocolate Recipe (Crock Pot Option) from The Food Charlatan. The best Homemade Hot Chocolate made in 10 minutes! I used to be ok with powdered hot chocolate mix, back when I lived a duller, sadder life. All that has changed! We use two kinds of chocolate for max flavor (cocoa and Real Dark Chocolate), whole milk, and a special secret ingredient that makes it creamy and sweet without being overwhelming. The Slow cooker makes it so easy. Great for a hot chocolate bar or Christmas.
