Ingredients

8 cups whole milk

2 cups heavy cream

1 can sweetened condensed milk

2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/8 teaspoon salt

2 cups mini marshmallows for serving

Whipped cream for serving

Instructions

1. Pour the whole milk, heavy cream, and sweetened condensed milk into the crock pot.

2. Add the semi-sweet chocolate chips, unsweetened cocoa powder, and salt.

3. Whisk gently to start combining the ingredients.

4. Cover and cook on low for 2 hours, stirring every 30 minutes, until the chocolate is fully melted and the mixture is smooth.

5. Stir in the vanilla extract.

6. Switch the slow cooker to warm if needed and ladle the hot chocolate into mugs.

7. Top with mini marshmallows and whipped cream before serving.

Notes

Use good-quality chocolate chips for the smoothest flavor and texture.

Stir a few times during cooking so the chocolate melts evenly and does not settle on the bottom.

For an even richer drink, garnish each mug with extra whipped cream and a few chocolate shavings.
