Best Hot Chocolate Recipe: Crock Pot or Stove Top
In this post:Â The Best Hot Chocolate Recipe that can be made in a crock pot or on the stove. The perfect drink to warm up on winter days!
Hello! Believe me, I know you are all busy, but I wanted to pop in with a very easy drink for Christmas morning…it’s the best hot chocolate recipe and it’s super simple. I know it’s been done before, but when I was looking for a recipe to make for my family, I couldn’t find just the right thing. One had whipping cream and 2 cups of chocolate chips. I could not bring myself to consider that seriously. Although it would be amazing I’m sure! Another recipe I found used all water. That’s not what I wanted either. So the simplest thing to do was to make my own version. It’s sort of a combo of both recipes I mentioned, and it really is wonderful. It has that cocoa taste which is what I wanted most.Â

I made the cut out cookies from my lemon shortbread cookie recipe. I didn’t have lemons but I did have oranges…so I used orange zest and orange juice. They were quite delicious…if I do say so myself!
