I’ll take anything pumpkin. And hot cocoa is right up there!
Could I make this and keep it warm in a slow cooker?
Yes! That’s a fantastic idea for a party. Just keep your slow cooker on low so you don’t scorch the cocoa.
Yum!
I made a boozy version of this for girls night over the weekend and everyone loved it!!
Ooohhh I love that idea!
