Crock Pot Mexican Hot Chocolate Recipe

It is the time of year when I just want a hot cup of comfort also known as Crock Pot Mexican Hot Chocolate. Filled with chocolatey goodness and a bit of kick this recipe is oh so delicious! I can't get enough of it right now with the chilly weather and as I get into the holiday spirits.

Crockpot Mexican Hot Chocolate

It is a fun twist on regular hot chocolate. If you are not a fan of the spicy kick in the Mexican Hot Chocolate you can leave out the ancho chile or use a smaller portion. Sometimes I make two slow cookers at the same time one with Mexican Hot Chocolate and one with regular hot chocolate so everyone is happy.

Want to make it spiked? Just add in your favorite tequila or liquor for a more adult hot chocolate!

You can add cinnamon to the whipped cream for a bit more flavor if you really like it spicy! This is such a fun twist on hot chocolate!
