Triple Delicious Hot Chocolate
6 Nov
With temperatures dropping, there is nothing better than heading indoors and warming up with a mug of Triple Delicious Hot Chocolate. Seriously, this is without a doubt the most amazing hot chocolate my husband and I have ever had. It is everything a delicious hot chocolate should be, creamy, sweet, and of course, chocolaty. Initially my husband wanted me to add in a little extra chocolate, but after some taste testing we decided against it. Triple Delicious Hot chocolate, has more than enough chocolate just the way it is.
With the holiday’s just around the corner, Triple Delicious Hot Chocolate is the perfect beverage to have ready to serve at parties. You can surprise your family by having it ready on Christmas morning, or when they come inside from playing in the snow.
You can find 1 ounce bars of chocolate in the baking isle of your grocery store. I used Baker’s Chocolate, they are sold in packages of 6 or 8 one ounce bars, so you can make hot chocolate all winter long. I would roughly chop the bars of chocolate before adding to the slow cooker. This will help it melt more uniformly and mix better in with the liquid. What makes this even wonderful beverage even better is serving it with homemade whipped cream, which is much easier then you could ever imagine. Take about a half a cup of heavy cream and place it in a medium bowl. Using an electric mixer, beat until it starts to thicken, then add sugar, teaspoon at a time, until it is sweet enough. Continue to beat until the cream is fluffy. Enjoy!

Brooke this looks sooo yummy! I’m defiantly going to try and make this!
It’s really good, totally worth the wait for it to brew in the slow cooker. Enjoy!
I am not a fan of white chocolate at all, but this recipe looks delicious!
I don’t normally like white chocolate either, but you would never know it was in the recipe. If anything, it might help contribute to the creamy flavor of the hot chocolate.
Omy, I think I just found what I’ve been searching for!
