  1. I made this for Halloween and handed out during trick or treating. It was a HUGE hit. I doubled the recipe and did add some more choc chips as I felt I only tasted caramel.

  2. Can you use semi-sweet chips for a richer chocolate flavor? I’m not a fan of milk chocolate.

  3. This is the absolute BEST hot chocolate EVER! My family (including my picky kids) all say this is their favorite hot chocolate and I have to make it several times during the year!

    1. The nutrition info provided is meant to be an estimate. It is calculated via an automatic online calculator and can’t take into account the specific ingredients someone would use at home in their kitchen (eg. whole milk, 2%, 1%) or whether or not they use optional toppings such as whipped cream, mini marshmallows, and/or extra caramel sauce drizzled on top. That said, this crockpot hot chocolate recipe is certainly not health food and is meant to be enjoyed as a special treat rather than go-to daily beverage.

  4. 5 stars
