What makes this hot chocolate special is the blend of both semi-sweet and white chocolate chips, which melt together into a rich, velvety base that’s pure indulgence. Add to that a dash of pumpkin spice, and you get a subtle, warming flavor that elevates classic hot chocolate to a whole new level. It’s not overly sweet, but if you have a serious sweet tooth, you can easily adjust the sugar to your liking.

Ingredients:

  • 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
  • 1/4 cup cocoa powder
  • 4 cups whole milk (or any milk of your choice)
  • 1 teaspoon pumpkin spice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup sugar (optional, to taste)
  • Toppings: marshmallows, Peeps Pumpkin marshmallows, whipped cream, cinnamon (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Set Up the Slow Cooker:
    • In your slow cooker, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips, white chocolate chips, cocoa powder, pumpkin spice, and milk.
  2. Cook:
    • Set the slow cooker to low and cook for 2-3 hours, stirring occasionally. As the chocolate melts, whisk the mixture every 30 minutes to ensure the chocolate is smooth and fully combined with the milk.
  3. Add Vanilla and Sugar:
    • Once the hot chocolate has fully melted and is rich and creamy, stir in the vanilla extract. Taste the hot chocolate, and if you’d like it sweeter, add the sugar and stir until dissolved.
  4. Serve:
    • Ladle the hot chocolate into mugs and top each mug with regular marshmallows, festive Peeps Pumpkin marshmallows, or a dollop of whipped cream. Sprinkle with cinnamon or additional pumpkin spice for extra warmth.
  5. Keep Warm:
    • If serving for a party or gathering, you can leave the slow cooker on the “warm” setting, so guests can help themselves to a cup of this seasonal hot chocolate throughout the evening.

The beauty of this recipe is that it’s made entirely in the slow cooker, meaning you can set it up and let the chocolate melt while you go about your day. It’s a low-maintenance treat that’s ready when you are, and it’s great for serving a crowd. Imagine the aroma of chocolate and pumpkin spice filling your kitchen as the hot chocolate slowly simmers away. And when it’s ready to serve, all that’s left to do is ladle it into mugs, add some marshmallows, and enjoy the warmth!
