What’s The Best Hot Chocolate?
If you’ve ever been to Chicago, you know about Mindy’s Hot Chocolate. It’s incredible and worth a trip out of your way. Panera hot chocolate is perfect if you’re in the west and have a Panera close to you. Even Walmart hot chocolate is a great treat if you’re not up for making hot chocolate from scratch. My family loves Trader Joe’s hot chocolate and the Target hot chocolate is so good too.

How To Add Candy To The Rim Of A Glass Or Mug
If you’d like to add a decorative and delicious decoration to the rim of your glass, it’s so easy. All you need to do is pour a few tablespoons of corn syrup into a bowl. Crush some candy canes or add some sprinkles to another bowl. Dip the rim of your glass into the corn syrup, dip it just barley and then let it dry for a couple of minutes. In another bowl, add sprinkles or whatever you’d like to dip it in. Dip your glass. Wa-lah, fancy-schmancy!
Ingredients in White Hot Chocolate

- Salt: cuts the sweetness just a tad
- Whole Milk: keeps the hot chocolate nice and creamy
How To Make Recipe For Crockpot Hot Chocolate On The Stove
If you’re making White Chocolate for a crowd, or maybe even Tim Hortons white hot chocolate, the stovetop is the way to go. Add all the ingredients to a large pot. Use a whisk to mix the ingredients together. Warm on medium heat until the hot chocolate reaches 160 degrees.
Temperatures above 185 will scald the hot chocolate and the flavor will change or the sugars will burn. It’s best to slowly bring the temperature of the hot chocolate up to 160 degrees.
How To Make Hot Chocolate In The Crockpot:
Add all the ingredients to a crockpot. Use a whisk to mix the ingredients together. Turn the heat on to low and let the hot chocolate come up to temperature slowly, whisking occasionally to be sure to stir the mixture occasionally to prevent any scalding.
Slow Cooker White Hot Chocolate
Ingredients
- 1 Bag White Chocolate Chips (Guittard or Guiradelli are preffered)
- 1 Can Sweetened Condensed Milk

- 1 Pinch Salt
- 1 Tsp Vanilla
Instructions
How to make White Hot Chocolate in a Slow Cooker
- In a slow cooker, add the sweetened condensed milk, white chocolate chips, vanilla, and pinch of salt, and the milk. Whisk until combined. (It's easier to whisk and make sure all the ingredients are combined when you only have half of the milk added) Add the rest of the milk. Whisk again.
- Place lid on the slow cooker and turn to low. Let the hot chocolate come up to temperature (160-185 degrees) for about 2 hours, stirring every 15 minutes until the chocolate chips are melted and then every 30 minutes.
- Stir mixture before serving.
- Ladle into mugs and serve with whipped cream.
