White Hot Cocoa with a Twist of Lime…Color!

As the temperatures start to drop and it starts to actually feel like fall, what better way to ring in the “ber” months than some delicious hot chocolate. I always like to add some flair to the basics so when I stumbled on the idea of doing a green hot chocolate, I knew that I could use this for all the upcoming holidays! If you’re like me and like to add a little fun to your get togethers this hot chocolate is for you as well!

Supplies:

• Crock-pot

Ingredients:

• 2 cups of Heavy Whipping Cream
• 2 cups of Whole Milk
• 12 oz of White Chocolate Chips
• 14 oz of Sweetened Condensed Milk
• 1 Splash of Vanilla
• Green and Yellow Food Coloring

Directions:

1. Add milk, whipping cream, chocolate chips, and vanilla to crockpot.
2. Stir.
3. Set the crockpot for 2-3 hours on low setting.
4. Stir every 30 minutes until the chocolate chips are melted.
5. Add green and yellow food coloring a little at a time until desired effect is reached!
6. Add toppings.
7. Keep on warm setting, serve, and enjoy!

Notes:

• There are so many fun variations for this recipe. I made it for Halloween, Christmas, and even St. Patricks day.
• There’s a lot of ways to customize this with fun toppings, candy, and sprinkle options!
• The options are endless with this one.
• You could also change the coloring to match whatever “theme” you’re going with!
• The flavor is really good, but very rich. I would definitely stick with whole milk or 2% milk, because it helps bring out the full flavor. You can also double the recipe if serving a lot of people.
• I’m also a big fan of adding in homemade whipped cream as a topping for this one.

So stop by your local Commissary and grab the ingredients for your next holiday party!
