Green White Hot Chocolate Recipe

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

• 12 ounces white chocolate chips (reserve ¼ cup for rim)
• 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk (1 can)
• 6 cups milk
• 2 cups heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon peppermint extract
• Green gel food coloring (6-10 inches, adjust for desired shade)

For Rim Decoration

• ¼ cup white chocolate chips
• ½ teaspoon vegetable oil
• Sprinkles for coating

Toppings

• Mini marshmallows
• Can of whipped topping
• Sprinkles
• Red candy hearts (single for garnish)

Instructions

1. Set the slow cooker (Crockpot) to low heat. Add 6 cups milk, 14 ounces sweetened condensed milk, 2 cups heavy cream, 1 teaspoon peppermint extract, and 12 ounces white chocolate chips (reserving ¼ cup for the mug rims).
2. Cook the mixture for 2 hours, stirring frequently with a rubber spatula to slowly melt the chocolate and combine all ingredients smoothly.
3. Once the chocolate has melted, stir in 6-10 inches of green gel food coloring gradually until the hot chocolate reaches your desired vibrant green shade.
4. In a small microwave-safe bowl, heat the reserved ¼ cup white chocolate chips at 50% power for 1 minute. Stir in ½ teaspoon vegetable oil, then heat an additional 30 seconds until fully melted and smooth.
5. Pour the melted white chocolate onto a plate. Dip the rims of your mugs into the melted chocolate and slowly rotate to coat evenly.
6. Immediately dip the chocolate-coated rims into a plate of sprinkles, gently moving the mugs to cover the chocolate completely with sprinkles.
7. Ladle the hot chocolate from the slow cooker into the prepared mugs.
8. Top each serving with mini marshmallows, a generous amount of whipped topping, additional sprinkles, and garnish with a single red candy heart for a festive finish.

Notes

• Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to four days.
• Reheating: Reheat the hot chocolate gently in a saucepan over low heat or in the microwave, stirring occasionally.
• Color Variation: For a non-green version, omit the green food coloring and enjoy a classic white hot chocolate.
• Alternative Melts: Use green candy melts instead of melting white chocolate and adding food coloring for an easier shortcut.
• Make Ahead: This drink can be made ahead of time and refrigerated. It will thicken when chilled but returns to liquid upon reheating.
