Slow Cooker Snickerdoodle Hot Cocoa Dip combines cinnamon-sugar cookies, chocolate, and melted marshmallows in a warm dessert made for sharing. Milk brings the ingredients together into a soft, spoonable mixture for dipping cookies, pretzels, or fresh strawberries.
Tips for a Smooth, Scoopable Dip
Crush the cookies into fine crumbs so they soften evenly. Hot cocoa mixes vary in sweetness and thickening ingredients, so check the consistency as the dip heats. Stir in additional milk a tablespoon at a time if it becomes too thick.
Use a small slow cooker and stir frequently, scraping along the bottom and sides. Start checking early because small quantities can heat quickly.
What to Serve Alongside
Serve with graham crackers, vanilla wafers, pretzels, or strawberries. The chocolate and cinnamon flavors pair especially well with simple cookies and lightly salted dippers.

Cooking time Approximately 30–60 minutes on LOW; slow cookers vary
Ingredients
- 2 cups finely crushed, fully baked snickerdoodle cookies
- 1 cup hot cocoa mix
- 2 cups mini marshmallows
- 1 cup whole milk, plus more as needed
Instructions
- Lightly grease the insert of a small slow cooker.
- Whisk the milk and hot cocoa mix together in the insert. Stir in the crushed cookies and mini marshmallows.
- Cover and cook on LOW, checking after 20 minutes and stirring every 10 to 15 minutes, until the marshmallows melt and the cookie crumbs soften. This may take approximately 30 to 60 minutes.

- Serve warm with your favorite dippers. If holding briefly on WARM, stir occasionally and add a little milk as needed.
Recipe Notes
- The finished dip will have a soft cookie texture, with thickness depending on the cookies and cocoa mix used.
- The dip thickens as it stands, so keep a little extra milk available.
- Cooking time is an estimate. Use melted marshmallows and softened crumbs as your doneness cues.
