Slow Cooker Mexican Hot Chocolate

Hot Chocolate infused with cinnamon, nutmeg and chili powder to give it a depth of flavor you wouldn’t believe until you tried it!

I love me some hot chocolate. All flavors. My favorite way to make hot chocolate is to blend it up with some Oreos while using my homemade hot chocolate mix. Omg, so good. BUT(!!) I think I found a new favorite. What made me wait so long to try Mexican hot chocolate?! I always thought I wouldn’t like it. Cinnamon and nutmeg I could do, but I just wasn’t sure about the chili powder – it sounds so bizarre, doesn’t it? You wouldn’t believe how good this stuff is though!

The chili powder is optional, but it gives the hot chocolate a deeper depth of flavor plus a teeny tiny kick at the end. It’s delicious.

This recipe makes a pretty large batch and it’s prepared right in your slow cooker. Perfect for large get togethers. Once it’s ready, you can set it to warm and simmer it all day so it’s there when you want it. Even though it’s April, it’s still pretty freezing here in New Jersey, so I’ve been enjoying this quite a lot lately!

    This looks so creamy and delicious! It’s still pretty chilly where I am so this’ll be a great way to warm up

    Is there any way I could substitute some of the cream, and use ground cinnamon instead of cinnamon sticks?

    Try adding a 1/2 tsp cumin and coriander black pepper and ginger and bump the chili powder to 1 Tbs. Adds a nice wholeness. Even smells like chocolate before you add it. Warms your sole!
