The ease and convenience of being able to make and serve this hot chocolate in the slow cooker makes it a perfect choice to serve a crowd or to serve at an event that spans over a period of time.

Keep that slow cooker going on the WARM or LOW setting, and this hot chocolate is at-the-ready to enjoy for hours. Which makes it wonderful for an open house ... or an afternoon of sledding ... or for so many different types of gatherings with loved ones.

Truly, it couldn't be easier to make, either.

Simply grab your slow cooker and pour in milk chocolate chips and a good dose of caramel ice cream topping ...

Then add a combination of milk and rich-and-creamy half-&-half ...

Now when it comes to choosing that milk and half-and-half, be sure to choose REAL® dairy products. Because the REAL® Seal provides you with assurance that you're buying genuine dairy products, made with milk from cows on U.S. dairy farms.

When you see the REAL® Seal on a dairy product, you can trust it's the REAL thing.

That REAL® milk and half-and-half is packed with great taste and nutrients you can only get from REAL® dairy products, too. Like calcium, vitamin D, potassium, and loads of quality protein. And that's something dairy imitators just can't say.

Let the ingredients cook on LOW for 2 to 3 hours until they're creamy and all the chocolate chips are melted ...

Then scoop out individual mugs full, and top each mug with a squirt of REAL® whipped cream ...

... and a drizzle of caramel topping. If you'd like a salted caramel version, sprinkle on a tiny pinch of sea salt.

We tried it both ways, and prefer ours unsalted ... but if salted is your thing, go for it!

Then dive on in to the caramel deliciousness! So good you'll be hard-pressed to stop at just one mug.

So if you're entertaining during this season of jolliness, add this Slow Cooker Caramel Hot Chocolate to your get-together menu.

With its wonderful flavor and slow cooker ease and convenience, it's just the perfect thing to serve up for your crowd.

Thank you for stopping by . We'd love to have you back soon!
