The taste of this crockpot hot chocolate is unrivaled thanks to the rich ingredients and low and slow simmer. Your guests will love cozying up to a warm cup of creamy hot chocolate garnished with an epic array of toppings!
Optional: Pinch of salt, pinch of cinnamon, mini marshmallows, crushed candy canes, whipped cream
Instructions
Combine the milk, cream, chocolate chips, cocoa powder, sweetened condensed milk and vanilla in a slow cooker over low heat. I do not recommend cooking on high heat.
Cook until the chocolate has melted, about 1 1/2 -2 hours. Stir a couple times during cooking. Add a pinch of salt and cinnamon if desired.
Turn to the warm setting until ready to serve. Stir and then ladle into glasses. Top with mini marshmallows or whipped cream if desired. Serve while warm.
Notes
Variations:
You could also use milk, dark or white chocolate chips.
If you find it too sweet, add an extra 1/2 cup milk or water.
If you want a more bitter taste, try dark or bittersweet chocolate.
For a smaller crowd, this recipe is easy to cut in half.
For a super easy version just add milk and hot cocoa powder (follow amounts on container) and slow cooker for 2 hours.
