For the richest, creamiest, most decadent hot chocolate, turn to your slow cooker! This crockpot hot chocolate is easy to make, perfect for parties, and satisfies even the biggest chocolate cravings.
Place all ingredients into a large slow cooker and heat at low temperature for two hours. Whisk periodically to ensure the chocolate is completely melted and incorporated into the milk.
Notes
I prefer using the Ghirardelli bars for this recipe, but you can substitute another brand of semi-sweet and 60% cacao bittersweet chocolate if needed.You can use 2% milk in place of whole milk; however, the end result will be less creamy and less decadent. This recipe is on the sweeter side. If you like your hot chocolate less sweet, I would suggest starting with ½ of the can of sweetened condensed milk and gradually increasing the amount according to your taste. I do not recommend using chocolate chips for this recipe as they do not melt as nicely as chocolate bars. For a boozy twist, try adding in peppermint schnapps, Kahlua, Baileys, etc. This recipe makes about 10 cups of hot chocolate.
