Best Ever Crockpot Hot Cocoa | MrsHappyHomemaker.com

I meant to start my Holiday goodies series on December 1st, but if you keep up with me on  my facebook page, then you know that we had a water mishap.  A switch had gone bad on our water tank, & we had NO running water in the house for nearly 2 days.  We were filling up containers of water from the neighbor’s outdoor spigot, & using that for all of our water needs.  I had NO idea that it takes nearly 3 gallons of water to simply flush a toilet!  If anything, my 2 day experience with no running water made me appreciate it so much more.  I was cooking during the ordeal, then it came time to do the dishes – but kinda hard to do without water!  I am SO glad that is over with now.

I am starting off the Holiday goody season with my recipe for Hot Cocoa in the Crockpot.  This isn’t Swiss Miss, folks.  This is the real deal!  On a chilly day, it warms you from the inside out.  Serve it to a child, & you will see their face light up like a Christmas tree.  Proof in point – here is my daughter, Madison after just drinking a swallow. Decadent doesn’t even begin to describe this.  I’m serious – this is the BEST hot cocoa.  Ever.

SO easy to make! Just stir the cream, sweetened condensed milk, chocolate chips, milk, & vanilla together in your crockpot…

Cover, & cook on low for 2 hours – coming back to whisk it every so often.

  1. Oh, this sounds and looks delish!

    Thanks so much for linking it up to my party!

  2. It never occured to me to make hot cocoa in the slow cooker! What a great idea, especially for a party.

  3. Yum! I just love hot chocolate!

    Thanks for linking up for Friday Favorites! Hope to see you again this week! Also, I’d like to invite you to my Holly Bloggy Christmas Recipe Party next Thursday!

  4. Oh my, this sounds good indeed! How can anything containing condensedmilk not taste divine?! (i eat condensedmilk straight from the can if i’m short on chocoate or something and get a sweet craving.) Hehe.
    But wow…it has to cook for 2 hours?!?! Is there a particular reason that it has to cook so long? How will the taste be different it it’s only boiled for say 5 mins?
    I’m a new follower btw! 🙂

  5. It wouldn’t taste any different at all really if you did it on the stovetop! I do it in the slowcooker because it makes so much, and that makes it easy to keep it warm for a while, and keep coming back for more – without worrying about it scorching.

    How much does this recipe make? It sounds delicious and perfect for my winter wedding desert reception!

  7. I’m Chef Corey from Family Fresh Meals. This hot cocoa recipe is AMAZING! The Chicagoland area is supposed to get the coldest winter in years, so I am printing this out now! Anywho,I just started a new recipe Linky called Sunday Funday: Recipe of the Week. This recipe would be perfect for the first week theme CROCKPOT. Each week will be a new theme. Once this Sunday Funday gets going, I would LOVE to do a random gift card giveaway each week. But I am going to need a good amount of posts to start that, so come join the fun each week. At the end of the week, a recipe/blog will be picked at random to be the featured recipe for the following week. Hope you stop by and join!

    How many does this serve?

    1. Depending on the size of mug you use, it serves between 6-10

  9. Customized Creations says:

    I see that you said it tasted better with sweetened condensed milk and you were going to edit the printable recipe, but the printable recipe still says 2 cups of whipping cream. When making this do you just substitute 2 cups of the heavy whipping cream for 2 cups of the sweetened condensed milk?

    1. It did say it on the printable version, but it was in an edit under the recipe title instead of the recipe ingredients. I have gone back in to the printable version along with the actual blog post though & removed the ‘edit’ paragraph, and just changed the actual recipe. Sorry for the confusion!

  10. Your recipe looks great and I can’t wait to try it. I love your stoneware too. Beautiful.

    1. I have never tried freezing it – so I’m really not sure. I’m pretty iffy on freezing things that are so largely composed of dairy though.

      1. I don’t know about freezing this, but my parents freeze jugs of milk, and thaw it…tastes just fine.

        1. LitLadyPam says:

          I freeze gallons of milk too. As long as it’s 2% or whole milk, it thaws and tastes great!

  11. What size crock pot did you use?

  12. Just wanted to say thank you for this recipe! I used it today for my daughter’s Winter Wonderland Birthday Party and it got RAVE reviews! There wasn’t a drop left in the crockpot.

    1. You are so very welcome! I’m so thrilled that it was such a hit! Happy Birthday to your daughter as well! 🙂

  13. Joellegoodwin says:

    This is going to sound strange…. But add 1/4 tsp of cayenne pepper. It’s delicious…not spicy! It gives it a different kind of warmth

  14. Kristinamccay says:

    This is THE BEST Hot COCOA! We had a nerf party and it was going to rain and I thought we’ll were going to need a lot of hot cocoa, so I doubled the recipe and I used the evaporated milk, Everyone went nuts over it, it was soooo good. Grandparents said it was the best hot chocolate they’ve had in their whole life.

  15. Bret Fitzgerald says:

    I made this last night and was dying over how good it was! Thanks for sharing!! I even just posted about it on my blog. I hope that was okay! I linked it back to you 🙂

  16. Bret Fitzgerald says:

    oops…for some reason it posted as my husband. If you want to check it out my blog is itsdinnertime2.blogspot.com. Love your blog!

  17. Kayoung24 says:

    I am going to do this for our Christmas Eve. Thank you for the recipe!
    P.S. I LOVE your dishes!! and the birds in the background, where are they from?

    1. Everything on my blog dish-wise is 99% from a line called Temp-tations. There is a link on my sidebar to take you to some of them. The birds are all from them too. 🙂

  18. I have Old World green!!!

  19. I think a crockpot full of this chocolatey goodness would be AMAZING to have warming in my kitchen all day on Christmas…or on a snow day… or maybe today!! 🙂 Thank you for a GREAT idea and recipe!! Can’t wait to try it out!

  20. it has sweetened condensed milk and heavy cream. How can it not taste yummy. Dangerous but yummy.

  21. Heidi's Recipes says:

    I used this recipe for a “Hot Chocolate Bar” that I created for my daughter’s youth group last night. I was skeptical, but it was delicious! I used my immersion blender to mix and froth it right before serving. Thanks for sharing! I wrote about the it here: http://www.heidisrecipes.com/2011/12/hot-chocolate-bar.html. Merry Christmas!

  22. Mrsstrohbehn says:

    I love chocolate creamer for my coffee I think this would work fabulous for that!!!!

  23. Laura Pienik says:

    i am going to go make this now…. BUT i super love your dishes and need to know where i can copy and buy it all. especially those tsp holders.

    1. There is a link on my sidebar that says ‘Like my dishes?’ & it will take you to all of them if you want to buy any. I have quite the obsession for the whole line – lol.

  24. I made this yesterday for my son’s 3rd grade class. O. M. G. Everyone LOVED it — I had to email the recipe to Jack’s teacher and his friend’s mom this morning. Very creamy. Everyone was impressed that it was REAL hot chocolate. Super easy!!

  25. Thanks for this recipe, and I love your dishes. I have them in brown and could not be happier with that line of products 🙂

  26. I made this on sat for a party and it came out chunky kind of like it was curdled or something…. It didn’t taste bad, just chunky. Any ideas why this happened? I followed your directions step by step. Please contact me via email to give me advice. I have another party this Friday. vilikat@hotmail.com
    Thank you,
    Katherine

    1. You may have let it set for too long without stirring it. Or, maybe your crockpot heats higher than most. Stir more next time, and once everything is melted – turn the heat down to warm.

  27. I made this for a party last night and it was a HUGE hit!!! Thanks so much for sharing!

  28. I stumbled upon this and made it for the cookie exchange I hosted yesterday. Delicious! Everyone loved it.

  29. So someone tell me is “Heavy Cream” ,1/2 and 1/2 or whipping cream

  30. I made this cocoa last night and loved it so much that I had to share it on my blog! Thanks for the terrific recipe!

  31. I am a third grade teacher and doubled this recipe for my third graders. They LOVED it! It was a little too sweet for me. I may half the sweetened condensed milk next time. Thank you for sharing this recipe!

    1. It is definitely sweet…but I have a ginormous sweet tooth, lol. So glad that your students loved it. You can substitute the sweetened condensed milk for an equal amount of heavy cream to subdue the sweetness a little.

  32. Every time I have people over in the winter, I make hot chocolate similar to this recipe but I have to leave my guests to prepare it over the stovetop. I’m now going to be able to make it ahead of time and leave it in the crock pot. What a great idea! Thanks for the tip!

  33. Whoops! Didn’t finish that comment! What I meant to say was, can you use a regular pot? I don’t have a crockpot.

  34. Looks great. Can’t wait to try it. FYI… try marshmallow creme with it. It’s AWESOME!

  35. Have to try this recipe. AND of course it will always taste better in Temptations…LOL

  36. Have to try this recipe. AND of course it will always taste better in Temptations…LOL

  37. Vividdawn0 says:

    I’m single, live alone… no way could I drink all this at once! Possible to store leftovers in fridge, and nuke to reheat? I could probably finish it off in 3 days, so it wouldn’t be too long in the fridge! (I drink a whole gallon of milk in 3 days, and that’s without flavorings in it!)

    1. I haven’t tried it myself, but I have had a few readers tell me they have done so with positive results. You could always cut the recipe in half too, even in quarters.

  38. peacefulady says:

    I love adding a little cinnamon and cayenne to my hot cocoa! Try it sometime…

  39. Deb Hanson says:

    Looks delicious!! And I love your china!

  40. I am having a January wedding with a hot chocolate bar. I’m planning on making this for 25 people 🙂 ♥

  41. I am making this for the second time (the first time was about a week ago). This hot chocolate is awesome! Next time I will make it with white chocolate chips. Very creamy and not too hot-just the right temperature by the time it’s all mixed and heated. I’m glad I finally found a recipe from a blog that actually is the best like it claims to be!

  42. How would I make this if I don’t have a crockpot? Sounds divine!

    1. French Toasty says:

      Simmer on low on stove 🙂

  43. Can’t wait to make this, sounds perfect!

  44. can you double the recipe?

      1. If you double it, will it still fit in the 5 quart crockpot?

  45. I assume you mean heavy whipping cream rather than “cool whip” type? Just checking! Thanks, it sounds delicious! 🙂

  46. I made this and it was way to sweet, even for the kids at my party:(

    1. It is a rich & decadent cup of hot cocoa. You can reduce the sweetness of it by using semi-sweet chocolate chips instead.

  47. FrenchToasty says:

    Very sweet hot cocoa, and so delicious! Best when piping hot from the pot.

  48. I fixed this for our church fellowship night(we had a hayride) Everyone LOVED it and asked for the recipe! Thank you for sharing. Next time I think I’m going to try white chocolate chips 🙂

  49. Christine says:

    I only have semi sweet chocolate chips, do you think that would work? Or would it not be sweet enough?

    1. I used semi sweet and it was perfect!

  50. how many people does this serve?

    1. disqus_ReceqhqzMt says:

      “This serves 6-8 people, depending upon how big of mugs you use – and I used a 5 quart crockpot in my pictures.”

  51. I love your temptations dishes and mugs! I have them as well in cranberry and yellow!

  52. Magikmakeup says:

    there are several recipes on the internet exact to this one, so im not sure who can claim it’s “theirs” but it’s good.

  53. This looks absolutely divine! I have a Christmas Cookies & Cocoa party every year, and I might use this recipe for the hot cocoa!!! haha, I love your little girl’s face with her mug in hand…that’s how happy I get with hot cocoa, too! 🙂
    Blessings,
    Leslie

    1. Crestgirl22 says:

      Did it reheat well?

      1. I made some last night and just reheated it in the microwave by the mug today. It tasted just as good as it did last night. Just make sure you stir it up really well before pouring into mugs, because the chocolate kinda creates a “skin” on top of the milk, it kinda breaks back into shavings and melts back into the liquid when reheated.

    2. I have never tried it myself, but I have other readers who have with good results.

    3. We froze our leftovers and ate it frozen….it made a delicious ice cream treat!!!__

    4. kjoslyn78 says:

      leftovers? with 6 of us, we doubled a double batch like it was air – LOL

  54. On the picture it doesn’t say you need sweetened condensed milk. Can I make it without it? How will it change the taste?

    1. Yes, that’s because the original recipe didn’t require it…it called for extra heavy cream. Once when I went to make it, I didn’t have enough heavy cream so I used sweetened condensed milk – and it was unbelievable, and quite literally the best hot cocoa I’d ever had. You can omit the sweetened condensed milk and replace it with heavy cream – and it will still be good, just not quite as rich.

    2. Yes, the picture is from the original recipe. The sweetened condensed milk came from a mistake I made later on, and it turned out even better – so I edited the recipe & renamed it ‘best ever’ 🙂

  55. very good! measurements could use some slight tweeking. although I recommend semi-sweet chocolate chips because with milk chocolate it will be too sweet and almost undrinkable (it’s not at all enjoyable to drink an entire cup of pure sugar and milkfat!) I also add a sprinkle of cinnamon at the beginning

  56. I only have 1 cup of whipping cream. Will it turn out alright if I replace the other 1/2 cup with milk?

  57. I made this last night. It was super easy to make and delicious. It is on the sweet side which I don’t mind. It is more of what i would call “Hot Chocolate” as it is sweeter than Hot Cocoa. But it was amazing. Thanks for posting the great recipe!

  58. What kind of milk do you use? Skim, 2%, or whole?

    1. I’ve used both 2% and whole with equally great results. I’ve never tried skim before because I’m not much of a fan of it.

    2. I’ve used both 2% and whole with equally great results. I’ve never tried skim before because I’m not much of a fan of it.

  59. Rhiannon Kay says:

    Making this for my cookie exchange party next weekend. Going to add splash of marshmellow vodka to it, if they want. Thanks for the recipe!

  60. This did not work well for me. I doubled the recipe for a slumber party and the chocolate never seemed to melt thoroughly. I even used my stick blender which helped some but I wasn’t pleased with the outcome. Maybe because I doubled the recipe but the comments said you could do that. Won’t make again.

    1. I made it one time and it came out perfect like the picture above. Second time I made it it came out as you described. will pre-melt next time just in case.. problem solved!

  61. Just had to say love your temptations dish set! I’m a confetti girl myself lol. I’ll be giving this recipe a try for my daughters winter wonderland hot chocolate bar this Sat.

  62. Melissa H says:

    Sound delish! Will it be ok for the milk to “sit out” for several hours?

    1. Yes, it’s certainly fine as the milk really isn’t sitting out, but being warmed 🙂

  63. Stephanie says:

    Soo yummy!!!! I used those Andes mint pieces for cookies in place of chocolate chips though and it was awesome! Thanks for sharing!

  64. I made this last week for my husbands work party hosted at our home. I was skeptical at first, since my other pinterest recipe did not turn out at all. This recipe is wonderful and delicious! Make sure that you put your crock-pot on warm during the party. I had used several crock-pots and the one I had this in, only had a low and high setting and it was HOT! We set out flavored marshmallows and crushed peppermint for everyone to add in. I had many compliments, so thank you to the person who posted this recipe!

  65. Stephanie says:

    Really was best ever! Only I made it stove top and then transferred to a crockpot to keep warm.

  66. Tiffany b. says:

    If you use chocolate chunks instead of chocolate chips, it will help with the chocolate separation. Chocolate chips have stabilizers in then to help hold their shape and not completely melt away when you are baking then in a cookie whereas chocolate chunks usually do not have these stabilizers in them because they are used more for melting and not holding their shape. Hope this tip helps!

    1. how many chocolate chunks did you use instead of the chips? I am making this for Christmas eve

  67. Made this for a party and it was a huge hit! Thank you!

  68. When it says whipping cream, is that just the cream or after its whipped?

      1. Jodi Pittman Johnston says:

        The recipe does not specify so do I have to use Heavy Whipping Cream? I bought just Whipping Cream (different from whipped topping).

  69. lalamcphee says:

    I made this for a birthday party and a few people enjoyed it, but it was much too sweet for most of us. It really “coats the mouth”. I used skim milk, so I cannot imagine using whole milk with this! It definitely tasted yummy, but I couldn’t get past the feeling it left in my mouth.

  70. Shauna UT says:

    Just made this tonight and it was a huge success! I didn’t know how much it would be loved. We did make a triple batch but found there was only one can put condensed milk left so for the remaining 2 cans we used an evap milk and a can of coconut milk. Rave reviews!

  71. Shari Daugherty says:

    I’m making this Christmas morning—can’t wait!! I know it’ll be yummy, anything with sweetened condensed milk is delish!! Thanks for the recipe! Merry Christmas!!

  72. How many choclate chunks do you use???

  73. This was so good! Seriously the best ever! My only complaint is that my crock pot didn’t get it hot enough.

  74. I made this tonight. It was just too sweet. I really wanted to love it.

    1. If you don’t like really sweet things, you should definitely use semi sweet chocolate chips. It will even out the sweetness. Or, you could just replace the sweetened condensed milk with extra heavy cream. Hope this helps!

  75. Did you have to use two crockpots?

  76. If you double the recipe, will it still fit in the 5 quart crockpot okay? It seems like it would be fine, but I thought I’d check from someone who has maybe tried it. Thanks!

  77. ♥ I love this recipe, and your photos are wonderful…If your little girl is shown in the photo, she’s just beautiful 🙂 Can’t wait for COOL weather so I can try this and enjoy – then again, why not just turn down the a/c and have this yummy hot chocolate…Love mini marshmallows in mine as well – with whipped cream!

    1. Thank you so much, Sasha! And yes, that’s my middle daughter in the photos – she is very beautiful, but afterall – I’m a little biased 😉

  78. Donna Lynn says:

    I made it with Andes Mints (the little ones for baking) + chocolate 🙂

  79. Is it 1 and 1/2 cups of heavy whipping cream or just 1/2 cup?

  80. Trying this tonight with semi-sweet chocolate! Can hardly wait!!

  81. Melissa L says:

    How long does it take to have the chocolate chips to melt? I was thinking this would be a good recipe to make before we leave for the parade.

  82. Can this be done in a pot over low heat?

  83. Cheryl @ Thinking About Home says:

    Heavens to Betsy! This confirmed coffee girl is drooling at the sight of your hot cocoa! 😀

  84. nickelpenny says:

    I made this for a cookie exchange this past weekend. It was part of a hot chocolate bar featuring homemade marshmallows 🙂 It was verrrrrry sweet. I used semi-sweet chocolate chips, but it was still too sweet for my taste. My husband actually watered his down with water. I want to try it again because it is so easy and not as much mess as when I make it on the stovetop, but I will either omit the sweetened condensed milk or use bittersweet chocolate instead. Thanks for the idea of doing this in the slow cooker!

  85. kjoslyn78 says:

    We love this recipe!
    We made a double batch last year – as we always drink hot chocolate while watching Polar Express on Christmas eve, after opening 1 gift (always brand new PJs). Best ever
    I used my 6qt crock. What kind of milk wasn’t made specific, so I used what we drink, 1% milk (given the heavy cream and sweetened condensed milk, i dont think you could tell), and with making the double batch, we did 1 12oz bag of milk chocolate chips, and 1 12oz bag of semi-sweet chips.

    Can’t wait to have it again this year!

  86. Bobbie Chappell says:

    Do you think this could be made in a roasting oven on 150-160? I have a giant group of people coming for a party and I don’t think my crockpot can handle this job.

  87. Chrissy Ellis says:

    Made this for the family this morning and OMGoodness!!! SO yummy!! I did it with some mint chips in place of the chocolate and garnished with Cool Whip and some chocolate curls! YUMMY!!!

  88. Can you use cocoa powder instead of chocolate chips?

    1. I’ve never used that before, so I can’t give a recommendation if you could or not.

  89. I just put mine on to cook. I had no whipping cream on hand so am trying evaporated milk and also used 1 1/2 c milk ch with1/2 cup semi sweet (we like it sweet). Hope it will turn out.

  90. I made this for my christmas party and EVERYONE loved it. Thank you for the recipe 🙂

  91. I made this for a few folks working the night shift with me at work and they just loved it! There was even a “buzz” around the office about it! LOL In fact, four people have asked me to send the recipe!

    1. So glad everyone enjoyed it – and I love that there is a ‘buzz’ now, awesome! 🙂

  92. I’m wanting to serve 22 students this delicious looking hot chocolate. Do you think I will need to double the recipe if everyone just got 1 (medium sized foam) cup?

  93. I need to make enough to serve 40 people. Can you double or triple the recipe?

  94. I love hot cocoa and this sounds delicious. I am pinning this.

  95. I love homemade hot chocolate, but I hate standing over the stove to make it. This is perfect! Definitely pinning to use this winter.

    Found you on Showcase Your Talent. Thanks for sharing!

  96. This looks delicious! My kids absolutely love hot chocolate when it snows. I think it is going to be that time very soon :). I love the idea of freezing the leftovers. I’m definitely trying this. Thanks!

  97. I was thinking of doing a hot cocoa bar for Christmas this year. I haven’t been able to find anything on the internet about this… I was wondering if you could just do a milk base in the crock pot? Then add various types of chocolate to your cups (for example, abuelita {my new favorite obsession}, white chocolate, dark chocolate, mint chocolate chips, etc) so everyone can have the type of cocoa they want. Do you think that would work?

    1. Marilyn Chapman says:

      Hi! I am doing a hot chocolate bar for an event and will be offering 4 different flavors of hot chocolate, so I wanted to make just the milk base in the crockpot… did this work for you?

  98. Kim Daniels Lewis says:

    Oh yum! Perfect for winter. Pinned. Lou Lou Girls

  99. I’m doing a hot chocolate bar for my sons first birthday since the theme is Winter ONEderland and this sounds perfect! I just am not sure if I need to double to triple this. Has anyone tripled it before? I’m serving about 20 to 24 adults.

    1. Debra Keith says:

      I am doing winter ONEderland for my daughter’s 1st birthday. Did you double or triple? How many did you serve?

  100. This is SUPER sweet and chocolate-y, like too much lol. I used semi-sweet after reading the reviews, even though I have a sweet tooth. But even with the semi-sweet chocolate, it was too much. We were adding milk to our cups trying to weaken it a bit, but it’s a very powerful cup of hot chocolate. I could barely finish one small cup of it without feeling sick.
    I made a hot chocolate bar at my daughter’s birthday party and everyone found it too strong, so it wasn’t only me.

  101. Omg! This is so delicious! My extremely fussy boys each had 2 cups….and asked for more! Thanks for a great recipe.

  102. Alilrayne says:

    I wish to make this for a large function, trying to figure out what measurements to use. I realize you used a 5 qt crock pot, but I want it FULL not just a portion. Any ideas? Would really appreciate it! 🙂

    1. If you want the crockpot to be filled, I’d recommend doubling the recipe! 🙂

  103. Kaye Collins says:

    One of my friends made this for a party last night. So amazing!!!

  104. Made this as a special treat for my co-workers today (even came in at 6am so it would be done on time!) and they absolutely loved it! I put out all kinds of “fixin’s” out like toffee chips, peanut butter chips, and marshmallows and made a Hot Chocolate Bar. It was a huge hit! It disappeared so quickly that I had to make two batches back-to-back! I’ll be making this again for sure! Thanks so much!!

    1. I loved reading this comment! I’m so glad that it turned out so well for yourself & your co-worker – and thanks bunches for taking the time to come back and tell me how much you loved it! It’s our favorite! 🙂

  105. I rarely ever leave comments, but this hot cocoa was AMAZING! I made it last night for a tradition my friends and I have where we watch The Holiday and Love, Actually, and this was just so perfect (we were drinking it right as it started to rain!). Thank you for sharing my new favorite hot cocoa recipe!

    1. YAYYY!! Thank you so much for taking the time to tell me this!!! 🙂 So happy you loved it!

  106. So rich and delicious! We served it up with some fresh whipped cream. My daughter said it was the best hot chocolate she has ever had! Merry Christmas!

  107. Can I use heavy whipping cream instead of regular?

  108. Anastasjia says:

    I can only imagine how creamy the sweetened condensed milk would make the hot cocoa! I use that stuff on everything on toppings for desserts and fruits everything. Instead of store bought whipping cream try using pure raw whole cream without preservatives and raw whole milk. Talk about a treat!! This recipe has made me to go out and buy a crock pot!! ☕ my mother always says to drink a cup of hot chocolate before you go to sleep and it helps you to sleep well .

    I made this for a fund raiser and I had some left over, can You freeze it and then reheat it?

  110. Oh man this is JUST what I was hoping to find. Happily pinned it for the future. We’ve been using our crock pot a LOT as of late and doing a lot of baking since… Hey. If it’s cold might as well warm the house AND our stomachs at the same time right?

    This is EXACTLY what I wanted to find. Will post again when I actually make it. So easy looking.

  111. Hopefully, I’m following you now!

    I tried this and it was more like drinking melted chocolate than drinking hot chocolate

  113. This IS the best hot chocolate I’ve ever had! Thanks for sharing the recipe. ????

  114. Sorry for rediculous question, but when you say whipping cream, do you mean cool whip or heavy whipping cream in a carton?

  115. I have made this a couple of times. Everyone has loved it!! Will try the chocolate chunks next time

    Going to try this.

  117. Entirely too sweet, even when using the semi-sweet chocolate.

    Has anyone substituted milk for soy milk or almond milk? Would it still turn out ok?

  119. Andrea Williams says:

    Making this for my daughters kindergarten holiday party. I can’t get into the class until 30 mins before the party. Should I cook it at home first?

    1. Yes, I’d cook it at home first so that the chocolate melts and then reheat it at the class.
