This winter, treat your family to a mug of this Hot Chocolate with Raspberry Mint Drizzle.
Fresh raspberries mix into the hot chocolate with each sip, making this recipe one you will remember.
This recipe is virtually mess free, simple to make, and you don’t have to watch it on the stove, because it’s made in the slow cooker. Another benefit is the hot chocolate doesn’t form a skin on top from sitting as milk would and holds well for long periods of time, making it perfect for parties!
