- 10 oz semi-sweet chocolate
- ¼ cup coca powder
- 3 teaspoons vanilla

- Add milk to slow cooker, turn slow cooker on to high.
- Add in sugar, vanilla, chocolate, and cocoa powder, whisking vigorously after each addition to incorporate. Whisk in cream last.
- Place lid on slow cooker and set to low, let cook 3-4 hours. Stir occasionally.
