Ingredients
- 2 Ghirardelli semi-sweet chocolate bars 4-ounces each, coarsely chopped
- 1 Ghirardelli 60% cacao bittersweet chocolate bar 4-ounces, coarsely chopped
- 7 cups whole milk
- 1 cup heavy cream or half-and-half
- 1 can sweetened condensed milk 14-ounces (see note below)
- pinch of fine sea salt
- 1 tablespoon pure vanilla extract
Optional Toppings
- Whipped Cream
- marshmallows
- candy cane pieces
- chopped peppermint bark
- salted caramel sauce
Instructions
- Place all ingredients into a large slow cooker and heat at low temperature for two hours. Whisk periodically to ensure the chocolate is completely melted and incorporated into the milk.
Notes
- I prefer using the Ghirardelli bars for this recipe, but you can substitute another brand of semi-sweet and 60% cacao bittersweet chocolate if needed.
- You can use 2% milk in place of whole milk; however, the end result will be less creamy and less decadent.
- This recipe is on the sweeter side. If you like your hot chocolate less sweet, I would suggest starting with ½ of the can of sweetened condensed milk and gradually increasing the amount according to your taste.
- I do not recommend using chocolate chips for this recipe as they do not melt as nicely as chocolate bars.
- For a boozy twist, try adding in peppermint schnapps, Kahlua, Baileys, etc.
- This recipe makes about 10 cups of hot chocolate.
