Will the milk curdle in Slow Cooker Hot Chocolate?
No! Because the heat is kept at such a low temperature, you needn’t worry about a curdling catastrophe. The temperature is low enough it isn’t actually cooking anything, it is just warm enough to melt the chocolate and heat the milk to a nice, cozy temperature. Just be sure to stir your hot cocoa occasionally to achieve that gorgeous silky-smooth texture.
What are some hot chocolate toppings?
Opt for the classic hot chocolate toppings with whipped cream and marshmallows, or why not try something new?
Crushed candy and peppermint are great ideas if you’re after a twist on this traditional Christmas drink, or for extra holiday vibes, why not sprinkle on some cinnamon or candied ginger?
If you’re a coffee lover, you can also add a shot or two of espresso for the ultimate festivity-friendly pick-me-up!
How do you make a Hot Cocoa Bar?
A hot cocoa bar is a great creative idea if you’re planning on entertaining over the Christmas period. Even better, it’s really easy to set up – simply display your toppings of choice in cute festive bowls, and allow your guests to build their ideal hot cocoa treat.
