Notes
- For the creamiest hot chocolate use whole milk.
- If you want to cut a few calories, 1% or 2% milk is fine, but I would recommend against using skim milk.
- When you first take the lid off your slow cooker, all the chocolate chips will have melted to the bottom. Simply stir, stir, stir and after a few minutes your hot chocolate will come together into a smooth and creamy drink.
