Slow Cooking Thursday Christmas Edition - Snow Cocoa

I love finding fun recipes. And I've always loved using my slow cooker. I plan to get an instant pot one of these days...but I will probably still use my slow cooker for a lot of my favorite recipes. My friend Sandra at Diary of a SAHM blog used to do a Slow Cooker Thursday linking post. She decided to bring back a holiday version for folks to share their slow cooking Christmas recipes. You can find her link here.

 So even though I'm a day late, I thought I would share my snow cocoa recipe today. It's been a favorite around here for the holiday season. And especially when my besties get together each year and do our girlfriend Christmas (we've been doing it around 30 years now!). And many of those years we enjoyed ladling this creamy concoction into mugs and adding a little bit of mint bailey's irish cream, or some other spirit. 😉 Pop in a candy cane and you're instantly in the Christmas mood! ☕️

This was also fun to make a batch of, and leave on warm, when we'd go out as a family to sled or skate on a rink. On a chilly, maybe even snowy day, is there really anything better than a cup of cocoa?

Another busy day here today, so another later post. Helping at school all day set up for our big family night and heading back soon for the event.  I will have more time tomorrow to get back on track and come visit all you dear friends. 

Today I did want to pop in though and share a favorite cocoa recipe. I have completed another page for Annie's cookbook so here it is:

 

 

 

I haven't made it yet this year so I don't have a photo to go with it - but trust me - it's a perfect beverage for these final days of winter. It's so creamy and sweet and so pretty with its winter white color.  Definitely a favorite around here for an extra special treat as it's quite decadent.  Hope you enjoy it and it becomes a favorite too!
