Ingredients

  • 3 cups whole milk
  • 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
  • 11.5 oz. bag milk chocolate chocolate chips
  • 2 T. unsweetned cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup mini marshmallows optional
  • 1/4 cup Whipped Cream optional

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In your slow cooker, add in all of the ingredients. Turn slow cooker on low.
  2. Whisk until everything is incorporated.
  3. Every 30 - 45 minutes, give the hot chocolate a quick whisk. Make sure to get the curves where the whisk might not reach. Your chocolate will hide in there. 
  4. After 4 or 5 hours (depending on how thick you want it), remove from the heat. Pour into glasses and top with marshmallows or whipped cream. I used a 1M tip to pipe the whipped cream in my cup. A spoon will work just fine.
  5. If you have any hot chocolate left, store in the fridge. You can reheat on warm in the crock pot. It will take several hours to warm completely. Microwaving or heating on the stove top will work perfectly as well.

Notes

  • Pro Tip: If you prefer semi-sweet chocolate, use a 12 oz. bag of semi-sweet chocolate chips instead of milk chocolate chips.
