This post is a triple win.
1. It's a slow cooker recipe.
2. It's chocolate.
3. It's a giveaway.
Win.Win.Win.
I am reviewing and giving away a copy of Gooseberry Patch's Slow Cooking All Year 'Round cookbook.
I love that it has recipes for every season. There's Warming Winter Dishes, Simply Speedy Springtime, Slow & Easy Summer, and Hearty Harvest Favorites. There are more than 225 slow cooker recipes and time saving tips.
I chose to make Best Ever Hot Cocoa for you all. It is pretty sweet so next time I will use less sweetened condensed milk. It tastes just delicious, anyway.
Ingredients
1 1/2 C. whipping (heavy) cream
14 oz. can sweetened condensed milk
2 C. milk chocolate chips
6 C. milk
1 tsp. vanilla extract
How You Do It
Combine all ingredients in a slow cooker. Cover and cook on low for 2 hours, stirring occasionally. Ladle into mugs; serve warm. Serves 8-10.
