Ingredients
6 cups whole milk
2 cups heavy cream
1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
mini marshmallows or whipped cream (optional)
Instructions
1. Pour the whole milk, heavy cream, and sweetened condensed milk into a crockpot. Stir to combine.
2. Add the semi-sweet chocolate chips, unsweetened cocoa powder, and salt. Stir again.
3. Cook on low for 2 hours, stirring occasionally.
4. Once fully melted and smooth, stir in the vanilla extract.
5. Serve in mugs with your favorite toppings like marshmallows, whipped cream, or crushed peppermint.
Notes
Stir every 30–45 minutes while heating to avoid chocolate settling.
For a lighter version, use 2% milk and reduce the amount of heavy cream.
Add a splash of peppermint or cinnamon extract for a holiday twist.
