How to Make Slow Cooker Hot Chocolate
- Gather Ingredients: Collect all your ingredients, including whole milk, heavy cream, cocoa powder, sugar, and chocolate chips – everything you need for this indulgent treat.
- Combine Creams: Pour the whole milk and heavy cream into the slow cooker. Stir gently to mix them well; this combination will create a creamy base for your hot chocolate.
- Whisk in Cocoa: Add the unsweetened cocoa powder and granulated sugar into the slow cooker. Whisk vigorously until the mixture is smooth, ensuring no lumps remain in your chocolatey goodness.
- Mix in Chocolate Chips: Stir in the semi-sweet chocolate chips, making sure they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture. This addition will heighten the chocolate flavor, bringing richness to every sip.
- Cook & Stir: Cover the slow cooker and set it on low heat. Let it cook for 2 hours, stirring occasionally. You’ll know it’s ready when the mixture is hot and all the chocolate chips have melted beautifully.
- Serve Warm: Ladle the hot chocolate into mugs and enjoy it warm, with a dollop of whipped cream or marshmallows on top for that extra touch of sweetness.

Notes
For the best flavor, always use high-quality cocoa powder and chocolate chips. Store leftover hot chocolate in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
