Slow Cooker Recipe
Minty Hot Chocolate
The holidays might be over, but we’re not quite ready to give up all the sweet treats we’ve been enjoying over the last several weeks (even if that means a few extra minutes on the treadmill). This Minty Hot Chocolate is one of our favorite winter drinks. There are few pairings we like more than the crisp burst of mint and the creamy richness of chocolate, and this easy drink is a great combination of the two.
Sure, it would be faster to make this hot chocolate on the stove, but on the weekends, we like to throw all the ingredients into the slow cooker mid-afternoon while we’re working on projects around the house. By the time we’re ready for a break, this hot chocolate is piping hot. The clean, bright mint and the lovely depth of the malt chocolate are the perfect complement to our other favorite winter snack—buttered popcorn. Yum!
