Hot Cocoa Board with Crockpot Cocoa Recipe
It’s the most wonderful time of the year — Hot Cocoa Season!
And the best way to celebrate is to have a hot chocolate party around a board full of all the fixin’s! You can, of course, make your own cocoa (crockpot recipe included), but for on-the-go and around-the-campfire cocoa sipping parties, it is A-OK to just have thermoses of hot water and packets of your favorite drinking cocoas.
Layout this spread and spread the holiday cheer!

To make the crockpot cocoa, whisk ingredients together in a 5-quart crockpot.
Cover and cook on low for 2 hours, stirring occasionally with a whisk, until the mixture is hot and chocolate chips are melted.
