id=\"stepbystep-instructions\"><strong>Step-by-Step Instructions<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n<p>Making peppermint hot chocolate in a slow cooker is simple! Here&#8217;s how to do it:<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"step-1-add-all-ingredients-to-the-slow-cooker\"><strong>Step 1: Add All Ingredients to the Slow Cooker<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n<p>Place the milk, half &amp; half, cocoa powder, Hershey&#8217;s chocolate bars, and candy canes in your slow cooker. We used the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.farmandfleet.com\/products\/1500237-ninja-85-qt-foodi-possiblecooker-pro.html\">Ninja 8.5 QT Foodi PossibleCooker PRO<\/a>, but you can use any medium-sized slow cooker. <\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"step-2-cook-on-low\"><strong>Step 2: Cook on Low<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n<p>Set your slow cooker on <strong>low heat<\/strong>. Cover and allow the mixture to cook for <strong>at least two hours<\/strong>. During this time, the chocolate will melt, the peppermint will infuse the drink, and the flavors will blend together nicely.<\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"step-3-stir-before-serving\"><strong>Step 3: Stir Before Serving<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n<p>Before serving, give everything a good stir to ensure it&#8217;s well combined and the texture is smooth. Use a ladle to serve it straight from the slow cooker into mugs. If you&#8217;d like, you can top with your favorite additions like whipped cream, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.farmandfleet.com\/marshmallows\/\">marshmallows<\/a>, or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.farmandfleet.com\/christmas-baking-supplies\/\">sprinkles<\/a>.

You can experiment with dark chocolate if you prefer a stronger taste. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Prevent Burning: <\/strong>Avoid setting your slow cooker to high heat. This can cause the milk to scorch. Low and slow is the way to go.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Adjust Sweetness: <\/strong>If you like your hot chocolate a little sweeter, consider adding a tablespoon of sugar or topping it with whipped cream.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Stir Occasionally: <\/strong>While the slow cooker does most of the work, giving the mixture a quick stir every 30 minutes or so can help everything melt together nicely. Use a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.farmandfleet.com\/whisks\/\">whisk<\/a> to get rid of any clumps.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Pre-Crush Candy Canes: <\/strong>Crushing the candy canes before adding them allows them to dissolve quicker and distribute the peppermint flavor evenly. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Keep It Warm: <\/strong>If serving at a gathering, keep the slow cooker on the &#8220;warm&#8221; setting, so guests can help themselves throughout the evening.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"480\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/www.farmandfleet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/peppermint-hot-chocolate-1.jpeg\" alt=\"hot chocolate in glass mug with whipped cream and crushed candy canes on top\" class=\"wp-image-39957\" style=\"width:320px;height:auto\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"serving-suggestions\"><strong>Serving Suggestions<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n<p>Presentation is half the fun when it comes to serving hot chocolate! Here are some ideas to make your peppermint hot chocolate extra festive:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Toppings: <\/strong>Go all out with whipped cream, mini marshmallows, crushed peppermint candies, sprinkles, or chocolate shavings. The more festive, the better!<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Peppermint Spoons or Stirrers: <\/strong>We served ours with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.farmandfleet.com\/products\/859577-wilton-6-count-peppermint-candy-spoons.html\">peppermint candy spoons<\/a> (you could also use candy canes). So guests can stir their drink with another hint of mint. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Cute Mugs: <\/strong>Pour your hot chocolate in pretty or festive mugs to complete the cozy vibe. We used <a href=\"https:\/\/www.farmandfleet.com\/products\/1552123-anchor-hocking-4-pack-16-oz-cafe-glass-mug-set.html\">these nice glass mugs<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Serve with Snacks: <\/strong>Pair the hot chocolate with treats like Christmas cookies for a little something extra on the side.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Why not give it a try this season? Gather your ingredients, fire up the slow cooker, and enjoy the coziest peppermint hot chocolate you&#8217;ve ever had. Once you try it, this drink recipe just might become a cherished holiday tradition.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"bb-carousel bb-product-carousel\" data-cy=\"bb-product-carousel\">\n\t\t<div
