Warm the Soul - White Chocolate Caramel Hot Cocoa

There is nothing worse than being outside for an extended period on cold winter's day and then coming in to only wait for hot chocolate. When I found a recipe for slow cooker hot chocolate, I was ecstatic. One of our favorite things to do has been to make this for Christmas....and if we would go sledding.  Well now this year I stumbled across a recipe for a white chocolate caramel one.  And you know that of course we had to give this a try.   Made a few little adjustments to the recipe and I think we may have a new favorite cold weather delight on our hands.  Now let me get to the recipe

White Chocolate Caramel Hot Chocolate

Ingredients:

3/4 cups heavy cream

1/2 can sweetened condensed milk

1 cup White Chocolate Chips

3 Cups of Milk

1 tsp Vanilla extract

Caramel, as desired

 

 

And ready, set, let's go

Pour into the slow cooker heavy cream, sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and milk.



 

Add your white chocolate chips. Give it a quick stir.  Then set the slow cooker on low for about 4-5 hours.   I try to stir it occasionally during that time to help mix up the chocolate.

 

Now when the chocolate is all melted it is basically ready.  Next take some of your caramel and drizzle it along the sides and bottom of a coffee mug.   Add in the glorious white chocolate mixture and bam...white chocolate caramel hot cocoa.

 

 

Sidenote: If you follow this recipe to a "T", you will have a 1/2 can sweet condensed milk leftover.   That leaves you with a few choices:

1. Grab a spoon and eat it
2. Go over to my yummie simple magical bars recipe cut the recipe in half and make some of those glorious things
3. Double the recipe above for an abundance of hot chocolate goodness.

And there you have a little warmth for the soul via some super sweet goodness. Stay Warm.
