Instructions 

  • Add the milk, whipping cream, sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract to a 4 quart slow cooker. Whisk to combine.
  • Add the cocoa powder to the crock pot and using the whisk mix the dry cocoa powder into the liquids until it has dissolved.
  • Add the chocolate chips to the slow cooker.
  • Cover and heat on low stirring occasionally to help the chocolate chips dissolve. Continue heating on low until the chocolate has melted completely, about 20 minutes.
  • Increase the temperature to high and continue to heat the cocoa on high until ready to serve.
  • Set the crock pot on warm while serving.
  • Top each mug with whipped cream or marshmallows and add a candy cane to the mug for garnish.
  • Makes about 6-8 servings depending on the size mug you serve the hot cocoa in.

Recipe Expert Tips

  • Peppermint Hot Cocoa: To make Crock Pot Peppermint Hot Cocoa add 6 crushed candy canes to the crock pot when you add the chocolate chips.
  • Number of servings: If serving children in smaller cocoa mugs you will be able to serve more children.
