 I am blaming this Slow Cooker Butterfinger Hot Chocolate recipe on Anna from Crunchy Creamy Sweet. She made a Homemade Butterfinger Bark for her blog the other day that pretty much blew me away. Did you know if you take candy corn and peanut butter and melt them together it tastes just like the inside of a Butterfinger candy bar? Me neither! But now I do and I’m obsessed.

Add to this new found discovery the fact that I have a daughter with a birthday coming up. She wants to go on a hayride with family and friends for her party and after have s’mores and hot chocolate to drink. My mind was trying to figure out how to have a large batch of hot chocolate ready for the girls after the hayride. This train of thought then went to… Oh! I have a Crock-Pot® Slow Cooker Cook & Carry to giveaway. Which then this all squashed together is simply to say…

The Hot Chocolate Recipe can be made in the Crock-Pot® Slow Cooker Cook & Carry, easily transported to the party place – because I have the Cook & Carry variety – AND I can make the hot chocolate recipe Butterfinger Candy Bar flavored since I now know the secret ingredients to make that flavor! Problem solved!

    I always say if it weren’t for the slow cooker my kids would starve. I work full-time and this one little invention is the best thing I own. My family’s two favorites are turkey chili and baked apples. 🙂

  14. Sarah says

    I use my crockpot all the time. The latest recipe my whole family liked was black bean and chorizo soup. yummy. I can’t wait to try this hot chocolate recipe. Your slow cooker is a little more fancy than the one I got for my wedding 18 years ago:-)

  33. Sues says

    OMGGG my husband will die over this. He’s always trying to get me to use the crock pot more and he’s obsessed with Butterfingers. Love!!

  42. Christine says

    With Fall coming, I start looking at making stews and soups in my slow cooker! Chix and biscuits is probably my favorite!

  45. Kari M says

    I love to do a few chicken breasts with a jar of salsa for some quick, spicy shredded chicken.

  47. David says

    My favorite thing to cook in a crock pot is beef stew, especially this time of year when it is getting cooler outside.

  50. Starla B says

    I wish I had such a creative mind like you. So cute that Leah had to snap a pic! LOL! I really love making seasoned marinated shredded chicken and also chicken and dumplings. I would of never thought to make hot chocolate in the slow cooker!! 🙂

  71. Cheryl Sullivan says

    I love to put a beef roast in the crock pot along with some potatoes, carrots and cabbage. Salt and pepper the meat and sear in a skillet then place on top of the veggies. I also add beef bullion along with a quart of water. Then cook for 8-10 hours. Meat will fall apart and the veggies are cooked as well!!! very good meal!!!

  78. Kathy Manning says

    I love to make a roast with veggies. Then I make a gravy out of the liquid left. Yummy!

  86. Sue Long says

    My favorite thing to cook in my crock pot is ribs because they turn out so juicy and tender!

  87. Kyaw Sein says

    Slow cooking of pork loin with mushroom , watercress , carrot and chestnut in a slow cooker will make you crave for it again and again

  98. Hillary Bergeron says

    I like making baked potatoes and then later using the leftovers to make potato soup.

  100. Susan Jordan says

    I love making BBQ Pulled Pork with dill pickles chopped in it! Great BBQ Sandwiches! Yum! Thanks!

    I like to do my Thanksgiving dinner in the crockpot. I do a turkey breast and stuffing and they cook at the same time.

  112. Heather says

    I love making chili in the crockpot. Throw everything in first thing in the morning and come home to a hot delicious meal, yum.

  118. cylina williams says

    I love making chicken anything in my crockpot, it gets so tender and tastes fantastic!

  130. Charlene Lucas says

    Pulled pork is my new fav but I’m looking forward to making this recipe, I have not used my slow cooker for any kind of sweet item so this will be my first. Wish me luck 🙂

  135. Jerry Cartwright says

    I like Sweet Baby Ray’s bbq chicken cooked in my slow cooker. It comes out so juicy and tender. You can cut it with a fork. It’s so delicious.

  141. Debbie LaCoste says

    MY FAVORITE DISH TO COOK IN A SLOW COOKER IS BBQ RIBS. SO TENDER THEY FALL OFF THE BONE.

  147. PJ says

    I love to cook BBQ pulled chicken breasts in the slow cooker. It comes out flavorful and moist, perfect for sandwiches!

  152. Amy G. says

    I love to make cherry biscuit cobbler in the crockpot, I also often throw in some chicken with a bottle of barbeque sauce, cook it all day and then shred it up. Same thing works with a jar of salsa.

  153. Chantal says

    Love making Corn Chowder! Can’t go wrong when you start with bacon and end with butter.
    My hubby won’t let me invite people over when I make it because he doesn’t want to share 🙂

  155. Angie says

    I love to throw in a cut of meat and let it roast away. Pulled beef or chicken or pot roast. But I really want to try desserts. And why don’t we use this more in summer when it’s too hot for the oven? I’m trying to break the cool weather crocking habit.
