Can I make Crockpot Hot Chocolate Ahead of Time?

Yes! This is a great make-ahead recipe. Just store the liquid in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Make sure to check the expiration date on the milk that you have used, and don't store it beyond that date.

How long will Homemade Hot Chocolate Last?

Homemade hot chocolate should be sealed and stored in the refrigerator. As the milk does not expire, it should last 3-5 days.

Reheating: You can reheat it on the warm setting in the slow cooker, on the stovetop on low heat, or in individual cups in the microwave

Storage: Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator until the milk has passed the expiration date
