Slow Cooker Caramel Apple Cider

This is such a yummy drink and it's super easy.  The recipe calls for 12 cups - way more than we needed.  I did about 1/3 of the recipe and that made around 4-5 servings so we still had some leftover.  Don't use square wrapped caramels - jarred caramel sauce is the best way to go.  Also, since I did only 1/3 of the recipe, I only cooked it for about 1.5 hours and that was plenty of time.  The cinnamon sticks opened up and the cider was boiling.  I actually think 4 hours might be overkill, even with the full recipe.  Also, don't skip the whipped cream... it's a must.
