I have made this various ways, and my family loves it! The milk chocolate chips make it very sweet. We have found we like it best with dark chocolate chips and semi sweet, a cup of each. Make sure to get a good quality chip. Not as sweet, and cuts the richness. Love you and your family! Blessings always!
I love how simple this is!!! I can't wait to try it with my kids! Thanks for sharing and for the extra tips! We will try with the milk chocolate chips.
Morning Kimmy! What a nice idea to have the girls over with the hot chocolate bar theme. With the snow falling and your table set up...ahhh, looked perfect. I'd use the milk chocolate chips for sure, only because I don't like it too rich. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this. Have a good day!
OOO I like this recipe, it makes me feel cozyyyyy... During February, in Canada we celebrate "Family Day" and I am thinking that aside from Valentine's this might be awesome for Fam. Day.
Send some of your snow our way! We've only had 1 snowy day ALL winter & that was 1 week before winter break . This is not typical for our part of Illinois. It's been muddy & depressing here. :-( My husband is enjoying no snow though.
I have tried that recipe before and you are right it is very very rich I serve it to my kids and they even said it was a little bit too chocolatey so that recipe I did have to alter so that it wouldn't be such a rich chocolate.
You can do half Mille/half water and it won't be as rich or you can do half a cup of cocoa powder instead of chips and that will cut richness. I use cocoa powder because I can't have soy. I like the consistency of that one best too
Looks divine 😍 So looking forward to winter coming soon. In Queensland Australia at the moment we are having 35 degree C days...yuck. Bring on winter and send us some snow please.😄
For my son's kindergarten class party, we just did straight hot chocolate powder and water in the crockpot, and added marshmallows lol. They drank 2 crocpots full as a class😲 but I always wanted to try the fancier hot chocolates off Pinterest!
try the ghiradellis milk chocolate and add a bit more whipe cream! i make this on the stove top also, add everything except milk and then heat and add milk as we want more!!!
I just follow the recipe on the hershey box. Put cacao and sugar in a mug. Heat milk. Pour a small amount of milk into your mug and mix it till it became a paste. Fill the mug up with the milk, and serve! Add marshmallows yum
Love the idea, but I think I'll make it on the stove top (probably use sugar and cocoa powder instead of canned condensed and chocolate chips) then transfer to crockpot for the "bar" set up. *Someone told me you can easily buy the plastic spoons and dip them into melted chocolate and allow time to set up, then put them in a glass so your guest can stir their cocoa with them for an extra chocolatey burst! :)
debi powell I made this on the stove top a few weeks ago. The chips and condensed milk give it such a good flavor... I make the cocoa powder kind with the recipe on the back of hersheys cocoa powder.. this taste so much better, to me. But don't look up the calories :/
Lea Burton hair challenged.. love it! I am one of those people. I have a braid off the the side, every day. I used to wear a couple variations of a pony tail, but my cousin who js a stylist said I was getting a thin spot... so I started doing the braid. My hair frizzes so bad so If I leave it down I have to mousse it and spray it then it gets in my face, and our food.

I made that same recipe for my Christmas cookie swap and used milk chocolate chips and it was so good and creamy.
The kids are going to love this as a special treat over the weekend. tfs
Great idea! Perfect for our Christmas morning tradition.
I laughed when you said it was a cold snowy day when you had your get together. It's snowing at your house every other day. lol
Yummy! Never tried this in the crockpot, but that would be great for a group! I would definitely go for the semisweet chocolate. 😋
I do this ALLLLLLLLLL the time with the ibarra or abuelita hot chocolate disks! SO DELICIOUS

Add about a at of water ..thins it out nicely
Thanks Kimmy! How many servings is this?
kimmy where did you get. your baseball tshirt. and does it come in plus sizes. for bigger ladies.
Love the idea, but I think I'll make it on the stove top (probably use sugar and cocoa powder instead of canned condensed and chocolate chips) then transfer to crockpot for the "bar" set up. *Someone told me you can easily buy the plastic spoons and dip them into melted chocolate and allow time to set up, then put them in a glass so your guest can stir their cocoa with them for an extra chocolatey burst! :)

ok, you and Kimmy have convinced me, I'll try it! :) Calories? What is that you speak of? ;)
Oooooo, I'm gonna do this ASAP. Thank you.
Yes the milk chocolate makes for way too sweet and rich. I have tried that one and love it! Try using white chocolate morels;-) yummm
I love it with white chocolate :)
looks yummy! Where did you get your shirt? It is super cute!!
Will you please make a video on "slaying the dragons" I would like to also teach my children this. Thanka
Where did you get the curtains behind you in this video?
This is a Christmas morning tradition for my family! We love it, but definitely try milk chocolate chips next time. It's much better, in my opinion :)
Thanks for the recipe, looks delish.... On a side note, I tried a "dirty coke" today and it is pretty good ;). Thanks. Alice.
we love this one!!
Video idea! :) You should show us in detail how you fixed your hair in this video. Some of us are hair challenged. :) Hot cocoa sounded yummy!

what's the difference between semi-sweet and milk chocolate ? We only have dark milk and white in the uk
Amy Amy Semi-sweet is basically dark chocolate. It may even be a mixture of dark and milk chocolate.
Amy Amy the recipe on pintrest calls for dark chocolate... so I would use that... I have and it is very good.
What if you have a 3.5 quart crockpot? How much should I do?
Halve the recipe?
Kimmy, I love your hair pulled up and back!
I make my hot cocoa on the stove and then put it in the crockpot. I take it to church and family gatherings this way.
hi Kimmy! Greetings from Greece!!
Kimmy, my smallest son an allergic to chocolate, anything else we can do for him! He LOVES chocolate!!
you look beautiful!!!! much love
I made the exact same recipe but with milk chocolate and I didn't love it. It was very very rich.
Oh. I think milk chocolate would be too sweet. Maybe reduce to the amount of chocolate chips or condensed milk.
Leslie A. Goff or half milk chocolate chips & half semisweet chips.
Ohhh! 😂 First thing I thought was yum, second thought was yes ohhh so rich!!
Your the crock pot queen
We need to collab soon! I just love your channel and we have the same name! I mean come on lol 😂😊
You had me at chocolate lol
wow high calorie/fat :(
