You might be wondering what the benefits are to making it in the slow cooker. First of all, the milk won’t curdle. That’s because you’re slowly warming it while the chocolate ingredients are melting into the dairy. It makes a big batch too.

That means it’s a great recipe to serve at a holiday party or have ready for Christmas morning, by making it the night before. I served this Nutella Hot Chocolate recipe at a cookie exchange party last year that was outside in our cul de sac. The slow cooker was placed outside, on a table, and I used an extension cord to keep it plugged in. Everyone could enjoy hot cocoa whenever they were ready. 

I added marshmallows and topped it with shaved chocolate. Of course, you don’t have to add marshmallows. You could do a whipped cream topping as well. If everyone wants marshmallows, consider adding them at the end to the slow cooker (directly on top). That’ll keep them soft and melty – which is sooo good.

How To Make Nutella Hot Chocolate In The Slow Cooker

Dump all of the ingredients together in the slow cooker and stir together. Yes – it’s that easy! Set your slow cooker on low for 4 hours.

Add marshmallows, whipped cream or shaved chocolate pieces for a topping. Serve warm in your favorite holiday mugs!
