Who is ready for some hot chocolate? What about a little salted caramel? What if I told you that you can make it in your slow cooker? My recipe for Slow Cooker Salted Caramel Hot Chocolate is seasonal and perfect to warm us on a chilly day. Making the hot chocolate in the slow cooker ensures that it is hot and ready right when you and your family need a little warmth. It is also a great recipe for a holiday party to give a spacial treat to kiddos, or a non-alcoholic beverage option.

This hot chocolate would not have the amazing salted caramel flavors without out sponsor, Torani. Torani has been making quality syrups for 93 years as a family business. Products range from syrup, sugar free syrup, signature syrup, and sauces in over 100 different flavors. Torani sent me salted caramel and vanilla syrup, and I could not pass on a chance to use the salted caramel to create this delicious treat.

What size crock pot did you use or any suggestions on what size? Where can you buy the salted caramel syrup? Thanks for any help you can give me. Have a wonderful day. P. S. Can’t wait too try this

Hello, I used a 4 quart crockpot for this recipe, like this one, for this recipe. A larger one will work as well, but you may find that it gets warmer faster. This recipe uses Torani syrup and nomally it can be purchased at the grocery store. Here is a link for the Torani store locator. Let me know how you like it!
