Slow Cooker Triple Chocolate Hot Cocoa is a rich, decadent hot cocoa made with the ease of your slow cooker. Chocolate lovers will be swooning over this one.
I love hot chocolate; it is a severe weakness of mine. I can never turn down a cup of warm, chocolaty goodness. Add some whipped cream and chocolate sprinkles, and I am one happy mama. Here’s another of my favorite recipes, Slow Cooker Sea Salt Caramel Hot Chocolate. I also compiled a list of my favorite 50 Holiday Drinks, perfect for this time of year!

My kids love hot chocolate as much as I do. We love having this on these cold winter days. We will be making another batch of this Slow Cooker Triple Chocolate Hot Cocoa today, as it is -6. Yes, you read that right. NEGATIVE SIX! Freezing! It should warm up today, but not enough… maybe to a high of 20. It’s so cold, you need something to warm you up.
Now add some “cream”.
See how gorgeous this is already!
Since we made our Slow Cooker Salted Caramel Hot Chocolate, my daughter Jersey has wanted to try new twists with the variety of chocolate chips from the store. So today, we are sharing her idea of adding lots of different kinds of chocolate; 3 kinds to be exact.
(A little whipped cream never hurt anyone.)

This hot chocolate won’t disappoint. It will become a regular in your home too, I am sure. Or at least it will if you are chocolate lovers too.
Cheers to good company, great drinks and staying warm. XOXO San

Sending tons of hugs to Jersey, a chocolate junkie in the making!! She’s at a great age to start cooking and baking with mom close by!! She could create a kid’s cookbook with this hot chocolate and other things she, her sibs and friends like to make AND eat. As soon as my sons could walk they learned how to put toys away and as they got older they learned how to be independent. When the oldest went away to college he was always telling me stories about guys who had no idea how to do laundry. One guy was putting 8 pr.of jeans in one washer!! The youngest went into the army and had the most vile stories of guys wearing other guys dirty underwear because the only thing they knew about dirty clothes was mom took care of them. (Drill Sergents taught them very quickly that mom was not in the army)!! They’re in their mid 30s now and still thank me for teaching them the necessities of grown up life!!
Heaven in a crock pot!
