  1. Combine Ingredients: In a slow cooker, combine the milk, heavy cream, semi-sweet chocolate chips, cocoa powder, sugar, and salt.
  2. Cook: Cover the slow cooker and set it on low. Cook for 2 hours, stirring occasionally, until the chocolate chips have melted and the mixture is smooth.
  3. Add Vanilla: Stir in the vanilla extract just before serving.
  4. Serve: Ladle the hot chocolate into mugs, then top with whipped cream and mini marshmallows. Optionally, garnish with shaved chocolate or a sprinkle of cinnamon.

Notes

  • Make Ahead: Slow Cooker Hot Chocolate can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in the slow cooker or on the stove when ready to serve.
  • Customizing the Flavor: Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less sugar. For a richer flavor, use milk chocolate or dark chocolate chips. Add a dash of cinnamon or peppermint extract for extra warmth and holiday flair.
  • Serving Suggestions: Serve with a dollop of whipped cream and mini marshmallows. Top with a sprinkle of cinnamon or shaved chocolate for a gourmet touch.
  • Storage Tips: Store leftover hot chocolate in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat gently on the stove, adding more milk or cream if needed.
