Slow Cooker Eggnog Lattes
Serves 12 to 14
For the lattes:
6 cups water
3/4 cup ground dark-roasted coffee
1/2 gallon (2 quarts) store-bought eggnog
2 (3-inch) cinnamon sticks
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg, divided
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For serving (optional):
Sweetened whipped cream
Freshly grated nutmeg
Cinnamon sticks
Bourbon, brandy, or aged rum, for spiking
Brew the coffee with the 6 cups of water in a standard drip coffeemaker. (Alternatively, do it in batches in a French press.) Transfer to a 5-quart or larger slow cooker.
Add the eggnog, cinnamon sticks, and 1/4 teaspoon of the nutmeg and stir to combine. Cover and heat on the LOW setting until the flavors meld and the mixture is heated through, about 3 hours. Stir in the vanilla and remaining 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg. Keep on the WARM setting for up to 3 hours.
Serve in mugs topped with whipped cream, freshly grated nutmeg, and a cinnamon stick if desired. Spike each 8-ounce serving with 1 1/2 ounces bourbon if desired.

Crockpot Pumpkin Spice Hot Chocolate
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 2 hours
Total Time: 2 hours 10 minutes
Servings: 4- 5
Author: Amanda Carlisle
Ingredients:
4 cups whole milk
1 cup white chocolate chips
1/4 cup pumpkin puree
4 3- inch cinnamon sticks
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/8 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg plus additional if desired
Additional cinnamon sticks for serving optional
Whipped cream for topping optional
Instructions:
Add milk, white chocolate chips, pumpkin, 4 - 3-inch cinnamon sticks, ginger, and 1 teaspoon nutmeg in a 3 quart or larger slow cooker/Crock Pot.
Heat on low for 2 - 3 hours, stirring every 10 minutes or so the first hour (to help distribute the white chocolate as it melts) and then occasionally after that.
To serve, ladle into mugs and top with whipped cream, if using. Grate some fresh nutmeg over the top and add a cinnamon stick (the pumpkin tends to settle a bit so the cinnamon stick has the added bonus of acting as a stir stick).
