Ingredients

Servings
  • 2 cups water
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder natural
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup miniature marshmallows
  • 6 cups whole milk or 2% or 1% if you don't want it quite as rich
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 8 ounces semisweet chocolate coarsely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract pure
  • marshmallows toppings
  • Whipped Cream
  • candy canes
  • chocolate syrup
  • salted caramel
  • Sprinkles
  • orange
  • cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Combine the water, cocoa powder, sugar and marshmallows in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Cook and stir until marshmallows are dissolved.
  2. In a slow cooker, combine the milk, cream, chopped semisweet chocolate and vanilla. Stir in the cocoa powder mixture. Heat on low for 4-6 hours, stirring well once an hour so that the chocolate that settles on the bottom does not burn.

Notes

  • If you don't have a slow cooker or want your hot chocolate to be ready faster, you can cook this in a large dutch oven or pot over medium-low heat, until the chocolate is melted, stirring occasionally to make sure the chocolate doesn't burn.
