For me, the holiday season isn’t complete without some homemade hot chocolate. Every winter, I make this Mint Slow Cooker Hot Chocolate recipe for the whole family to enjoy. We love it for the holiday season. It’s stays fresh and hot for hours in the slow cooker – which also makes it perfect for a party too. It’s so much easier than making it over the stove top – you’ll never go back to your old method, after you’ve tried this recipe.

I started making this recipe for one of our annual Christmas Cookie Exchange parties. I needed a warm drink to serve, since we were outside in our cul de sac, but something that stayed warm throughout the party. We’ll serve this hot chocolate and my Reindeer Peanut Butter Blossom Cookies.

You’ve also got to try my Nutella Slow Cooker Hot Chocolate Recipe too! It’s another tried and true cocoa recipe that everyone loves, with a hazelnut chocolate flavor.

The BEST Mint Slow Cooker Hot Chocolate Recipe (Hot Cocoa)

Wondering why you should use a slow cooker for your hot chocolate? It’s going stay warm without burning. You can also dump everything and forget about it. You just add your toppings at the end. You’ll be standing over the stove top, if you make it the traditional way.

What To Serve Your Mint Slow Cooker Hot Chocolate With

Grab your favorite Christmas cookies! There’s nothing better than a cookie that you can even dip into your hot cocoa too. I love chocolate chip cookies and sugar cookies. Put together a Christmas Cookie dessert board and serve your hot chocolate on the side. I also love creating a hot cocoa bar.
