Recipe Ingredient Notes

To make slow cooker hot chocolate, you will need the following ingredients:

• Milk: the higher percentage you use, the more creamier your hot chocolate will be.
• Sweetened condensed milk
• Milk Chocolate Chip’s (we prefer Ghirardelli)
• Heavy Whipping Cream
• Vanilla Extract

Equipment Needed

For this recipe, you only need a few simple kitchen tools. We recommend using the following equipment:

• Slow Cooker
• Ladle
• Mugs

How to Make Slow Cooker Hot Chocolate

1. In the bottom of your slow cooker, combine milk, sweetened condensed milk, chocolate chips, heavy whipping cream, and vanilla extract (I used a large wooden spoon).
2. Place lid on slow cooker and cook on low heat for about 2 hours, stirring every 30 minutes or so (I actually used a whisk to stir it to help make it smooth).
3. It’s ready to drink when the chocolate chips are completely melted and the hot chocolate is smooth.
4. Once it’s finished cooking, switch the heat on the slow cooker to “keep warm” and this hot chocolate is good for a few hours. I kept mine on warm for almost 5 hours during the day and people kept coming back to get more! You will just want to be sure to give it a good stir/whisk every 45 minutes or so.
