This extra rich hot chocolate has just six ingredients. 

Add milk and condensed milk to the slowcooker.

If you want it even creamier you can do half heavy cream and half milk.

For this fall themed beverage I add one whole can of pumpkin puree.

Mix it in to the liquid in the slowcooker. 

Now add vanilla and pumpkin pie spice. 

Whisk well.

Finally, add in one bag of white chocolate chips. Stir. 

Cover and cook on low for 2-3 hours, stirring occasionally to mix up the chips that clump on the bottom. 

Ladle into mugs and top with whipped cream if desired.

Serve hot.

Enjoy your creamy, decadent fall inspired hot chocolate!

I use 4-5 different cereals and pretzels for this dessert style Chex Mix.

Add the cereal and pretzels to a large bowl and mix.

Ava is such a big helper in the kitchen. Snack mixes are our favorite to make together. 

Add butter and white chocolate chips to a bowl and microwave for 45 seconds.

Stir until smooth. Microwave for an additional 15 seconds if not fully melted.

Pour the chocolate onto the Chex Mix.

Stir to coat all over.

Now to add color! I like using large Christmas colored sprinkles. Start with 2 tbsp and add more if needed. 

You could also add Christmas colored candy like M&Ms. 

Scoop all the cereal in a couple gallon size ziptop bags.

Add the Christmas colored sprinkles on top.

Pour 1/2 cup powdered sugar in each bag, seal, and shake, shake, shake to coat the mix.

Optional: after mixing you can pour onto a lined sheet pan to make sure if it all fully coated and cooled.

Add more sprinkles if needed.

I love how easy and festive this mix is! It makes a great gift too.

Serve in bowls or snack bags and enjoy!
