How to Make the Slow Cooker Chocolate Peppermint Syrup
Combine all of the ingredients in your slow cooker and mix them until everything is combined really well. Any slow cooker will work well for this, but if you have one of the mini slow cookers, that would be perfect for setting up a chocolate peppermint dessert bar!
When you’re done cooking the syrup, you can either just ladle it right out of the crock pot, or you can transfer it to a mason jar and spoon it out of there if that works better for you space-wise.
Extras can be stored in a jar in the fridge and this syrup is equally good if you use it straight out of the fridge in your morning coffee the next day. You can even try dipping cookies or little pieces of pound cake in the chocolate peppermint syrup if you’re craving a quick festive treat. 🙂
