Slow Cooker Hot Chocolate

Now that Thanksgiving is over, Christmas is in full swing! My best friend calls me “the crazy Christmas lady” but I am not even that bad. So many of my neighbors had their houses fully decorated and lit up the day after Thanksgiving (some even the day after Halloween), and I waited a full TWO days after Thanksgiving to get our tree and start decorating.

Last Sunday, we got our beautiful, fresh Christmas tree. The scent immediately filled the house and it truly started to feel like the holiday season has arrived. My absolute favorite part of the holiday season is the Christmas tree all lit up with twinkling lights and decorated with the most random ornaments. When it comes to our Christmas tree, it’s a memory in itself and not a perfectly organized and color matched house decoration.

We have ornaments that date 15 years back when my husband and I started dating. Each ornament means something different and each one has a memory attached to it. I love to sit next to the tree, look at my ornaments, and sip hot chocolate.

PIN IT if you LOVE IT!

This year, I made us Butterscotch Hot Chocolate and I made it in a slow cooker. Making hot cocoa in a slow cooker is perfect because it will keep the whole big batch warm while we are leisurely enjoying the evening. I actually use my slow cooker quite often during the holidays. It’s perfect to keep hot cocoa, apple cider, and mulled wine warm during the parties. It’s also perfect to keep my meatballs warm during the parties.

There are many more hot cocoa evening in front of the Christmas tree to come. I can’t wait!
