Ingredients You’ll Need:
- 1 (11 oz) bag Ghirardelli White Chocolate Chips – Melts into the drink for a rich, creamy white chocolate flavor that serves as the base of this festive hot chocolate.
- 1 (14 oz) can Sweetened Condensed Milk – Adds extra sweetness and creates an ultra-smooth, velvety texture.
- 6 cups Milk – Forms the main liquid base, making the hot chocolate perfectly sippable and creamy.
- 2 cups Heavy Cream – Enhances the richness and gives the hot chocolate a luxurious, decadent consistency.
- 1 tsp Peppermint Extract (Optional) – Adds a refreshing mint flavor that pairs perfectly with the holiday theme.
- Neon Green Food Coloring – Turns the hot chocolate Grinch green, making it fun and festive for Christmas celebrations.
How to Make Grinch Hot Chocolate
- Set crock pot to low heat and add 10 oz Ghirardelli white chocolate chips, 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk, 6 cups milk, 2 cups heavy cream, and 1 tsp peppermint extract (optional).
- After the chocolate has melted, add several drops of neon green food coloring. Whisk until thoroughly combined. Continue adding until desired shade of neon green is reached.
My Best Tips:
- Add the Food Coloring Gradually – A little goes a long way!
- Use Neon Green Food Coloring – Any other shade of green will not give you Grinchy green.
- Use Whole Milk for Extra Creaminess – Whole milk creates a richer and more luxurious hot chocolate.
- Whisk Frequently While Heating – This fully combines the sweetened condensed milk and melted chocolate with the milk and cream.
- Customize the Toppings – Top with mini-marshmallows, crushed candy canes, green sprinkles, or red candy hearts for an extra festive touch.
