Slow Cooker Hot Chocolate

Using my slow cooker to keep drinks warm during the holidays is a life-saver.  I just love serving folks warm drinks and it’s so hard to make them individually so making a big batch ahead of time and keeping it in the slow cooker until they are ready to grab some is so perfect.  After making my slow cooker chai tea latte last time family was over, someone asked if I had tried making hot chocolate in the slow cooker before so I knew that just had to be the next slow cooker drink that I made.  The thing I love about slow cooker hot chocolate is how customizable it is.  I leave out a bunch of fixings right next to it so that each person can jazz up their hot chocolate as much as they want!
