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.
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.
