Hot [White] Chocolate. Yum!
Found a new recipe at Allrecipes.com called Snow Flake Cocoa which was a huge hit at our annual Halloween bonfire last night. Although I did decide to change the name to Hot [White] Chocolate. If I would have told everyone I had made some Snow Flake Cocoa they would have said, “What?”. So I decided to avoid any confusion and give it a more descriptive name. Speaking for all of my neighbors, we have decided to give this recipe a rating of five stars. (I can speak for them since they drank my entire batch!) I will definately be making this again and look forward to tweaking it to see what other flavors we can come up with. Although you could just follow the link above I’m going to repost it here to make things a little easier on you. I’m also going to share the tips I learned throughout the night.
INGREDIENTS:
2 cups whipping cream
6 cups milk
1teaspoon vanilla
1 (12 oz) package white chocolate chips
OPTIONAL INGREDIENTS:
whipped cream
candy canes or peppermint pieces
bailey’s mint chocolate irish cream
peppermint schnapps
DIRECTIONS:
- Stir together the whipping cream, milk, vanilla and white chocolate chips in slow cooker,
- Cover and cook on low for 2 to 2 1/2 hours, shirring occasionally, until mixture is hot and chocolate chips are melted. Stir again before serving. Garnish with whipped cream, candy and/or liquor as desired.
I doubled the recipe which fit perfectly in my 6 qt slow cooker. The initial batch did take 2 1/2 hours to melt the chocolate chips, with multiple stirs. Once melted I filled a 3 litre thermos with the hot chocolate, leavng a small amount in the slow cooker. Since I had picked up a few more bags of white chocolate chips I decided to go ahead and add one more batch to the slow cooker. Since it had been on for 2 1/2 hours this second batch melted the chocolate much faster. Turned out by the time we had emptied the first thermos full the second batch was ready to go!
Oh, and by the way, I highly recommend adding the Baileys Mint Chocolate Irish Cream. It was soooo good! The whipped cream and one small peppermint piece just topped it all off. YUM!
