- 10 Candy Canes
Instructions

- Stir well before serving.
- Serve warm with your favorite toppings, such as marshmallows, whipped cream, crushed candy canes, or mini candy canes.
- If serving over an extended period, set the slow cooker to Warm and stir every 30–60 minutes to prevent the hot chocolate from scorching on the bottom.

Store leftover hot chocolate in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave, stirring well before serving.
The candy canes add both peppermint flavor and sweetness, so no additional sugar is needed.
