Notes
- I use my 6-quart cooker for this recipe, but a 4-quart would work too.
- Only use low heat for this recipe!
- Stir every 45-60 minutes during cooking to prevent the white chocolate from sticking to the bottom of your slow cooker.
- Use high-quality white baking chips for the smoothest result. I've found that cheaper varieties can sometimes become grainy.
- If your hot chocolate seems too thick, add a splash more milk until you reach your desired consistency.
- The marshmallow creme might look lumpy initially, but it'll smooth out as it heats up.
