Hot Chocolate Bar

Decided to try something new (again) for a Christmas party we were hosting at our place this year :)
We made a very delicious crock-pot creamy hot chocolate, and provided a plethora of (adult) drinks and treats for our guests to flavour and decorate their own drinks:)

Check our our Hot Chocolate Bar!


Obviously a hot chocolate bar must start with delicious hot chocolate :)
Here is the recipe:

Ingredients:
2 cups whipping cream
1 (14 oz) can of sweetened condensed milk
2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
4 cups milk
2 tsp pure vanillla extract

I doubled this recipe and it just fit inside my crock pot :)

Combine everything and cook on low for a 2 hours (or longer if you double it!).
Whisk it every 30 minutes to an hour to make sure the chocolate chips are getting melted and mixed in.


I made tags for each of the toppings I provided - with cute little washi tape designs on them :)


The toppings I provided: 
Chocolate chips
Toffee bits
White chocolate chips
Mini marshmellows
Peppermint sticks
Cinnamon sticks
Chocolate stir sticks
Hazelnut/chocolate sticks'
Whipping Cream
Red and green sprinkles
Caramel flavouring


If it's an adult party... you can also provide:
Peppermint Schnapps
Baileys
Amarula 
Frangelico
or Kahlua


Then enjoy a steamy cup of creamy delicousness :) 
You WILL be asked for this recipe! 
Guests went back for seconds (despite how sweet and filling it is!) because this hot chocolate was so good!


Drink up!

  6. Just out of curiosity when you say “2 cups whipping cream” is this whipped cream or the liquid whipping cream?
