Why You’ll Love This Grinch Hot Chocolate

- Whoville-perfect color: Green gel food coloring makes the drink vibrant without watering it down.
- Kid-approved & party-ready: An easy holiday drink everyone gets excited about, especially with the cute heart sprinkles.
- Ready in minutes: Just heat, stir, color, and serve.
Where to Get Red Heart Sprinkles
In the photos, I used these red heart sprinkles. I have also been on the hunt for a dye-free red heart sprinkle, but have not had any luck yet.
However, I did find these Supernatural dye-free red melting chocolates, and they can be melted and put into these cute heart molds! Their green coloring will also work great for the hot chocolate to be totally dye free.
Can You Make Grinch Hot Chocolate in the Slow Cooker?
Yes! Combine all of the ingredients to a slow cooker. Cover and cook on the low setting for about 2 to 3 hours, stirring every 30 minutes. Serve immediately topped with whipped cream, or change your slow cooker to the warm setting to keep it hot until ready to serve.
