Nothing screams the holidays to me more than a huge glass of hot chocolate. Of course you can't forget the marshmallows. And a side of cookies too. :) I love hosting a hot chocolate bar around the holidays. 

How do you start? With the most decadent hot chocolate you can imagine. This crockpot recipe for hot chocolate is over-the-moon amazing. Of course, how fun would a hot chocolate bar be for the kiddos too?! Regardless of who you share this hot chocolate bar with, you are sure to get big smiles plastered on everyone's faces, both young and old.

If I ever had the chance to ride The Polar Express, I would imagine this would be the hot chocolate on the train. You will want to melt into the glass. Seriously, you'll be swooning with every sip.

Instructions: In the insert of a crockpot slow cooker, combine all ingredients and set to high. Stir regularly for 40 minutes until the chocolate is fully melted and incorporated with the other ingredients.

Then it's time for toppings, toppings, and more toppings!! Here is the full list: - Peppermint stick stirrers or spoon stirrers - Pirouette cookie stirrers - Dark chocolate chips - Butterscotch chips - Crushed candy canes - Mini marshmallows - Fruit flavored mini marshmallows - Hot Tamales - Andes Mints - Sprinkles.

I also like to set out a plate of assorted cookies, either store bought or homemade, to go with it all. Don't you wish you could jump into these photos and be here with me?! Happy Holidays to All!
