Slow Cooker Peppermint White Hot Chocolate

This Peppermint White Hot Chocolate is made in your slow cooker. An amazing White Hot Chocolate perfect for the Holidays!

My wife loves mint or peppermint flavored things. I also know she loves a nice Hot Chocolate on a cold winter night. I forget where I first saw this recipe, but I finally decided to make this Slow Cooker Peppermint White Hot Chocolate for Christmas.

If you are watching your calorie intake or sugars, please do me a favor and look at the nutritional information on the recipe card first. This Hot Chocolate is seriously sinful. I'm really not surprised given the list of ingredients.

This recipe also makes a ton of Hot Chocolate, approximately 12 mugs, which is great if you are hosting a Holiday Party or have a huge family. If not, you may want to cut this recipe in half.

My wife was the first to try this hot chocolate and her first comment was "I can taste the peppermint and the chocolate". Funny thing is that she is not a fan of white chocolate but she said it was good in this recipe.

The recipe card tells you to stir occasionally, which is pretty subjective so in my experience, I would suggest stirring once every 30 minutes over the 3 hour period. Just try to minimize the amount of time you have the lid off the slow cooker.

The use of candy canes is optional but if you are hosting some sort of party I think it adds a nice little touch. It will also add a little more peppermint taste. Not that this Hot Chocolate needs it but if you love the taste of mint, you won't mind.

NOTE: Depending on the type of chocolate you use, you might find a small yellowish layer on top of the hot chocolate while in the slow cooker. This is simply some of the chocolate rising to the top. Simply stir to re-incorporate.

If you are looking for a good cookie to go along with this peppermint white hot chocolate, try my Christmas Wreath Cookies. Peppermint lovers must try this Chocolate Peppermint Bark. Yummy! But what I think would go best with this Hot Chocolate is my Candy Cane Pie!
