- 4 cups whole milk
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Add the heavy cream, cocoa powder, and salt to a 2 or 3 quart slow cooker and whisk until combined.
- Whisk in the milk and milk chocolate chips. The chocolate chips will melt as they cook.
- Cook on low for 2 hours.
- Add the vanilla and whisk until smooth.

Notes
Keep on the low or warm setting for up to 2 hours. Stir every 30 minutes to keep it from forming a film or scorching.
If you use a large slow cooker, you need to double the batch. Filling the crock pot less than half full will increase the likelihood of scorching.
Use a larger slow cooker to make a double or triple batch. A 4-quart crock pot will hold a double recipe. A 6 or 7-quart crock pot is big enough to fit a triple recipe.
Store leftover hot chocolate in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in a microwave-safe mug until hot. Stir and enjoy.
