Smooth, sweet and full of peppermint flavor, this slow cooker candy cane hot chocolate is pure holiday comfort. It’s easy to make and turns any winter day into something special.
Add white chocolate chips, candy canes, sweetened condensed milk, whole milk, and vanilla to a 6-quart or larger slow cooker.
Whisk until combined.
Place lid on slow cooker and cook on high for 2 hours or on low for 4 hours, stirring occasionally to prevent scorching.
Stir and serve topped with whipped cream, mini marshmallows, and crushed candy canes if liked.
Notes
Keep it smooth: Stir every so often to stop the chocolate from settling. Extra peppermint punch: Add more candy canes or a drop of peppermint extract if you like it bolder. Perfect for parties: Keep it on warm for guests to serve themselves.
