Everyone claimed I made too much hot cocoa…until they tasted it!

Recipe for a full crockpot:

1 gallon whole milk
2 (14 oz) cans sweetened condensed milk
24 oz semisweet chocolate (I like to use Ghirardelli, you can also use chocolate bars)
3.5 cups heavy cream
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  1. Pour all of the ingredients listed above into the crockpot
  2. Cook on high 2-3 hours, make sure to stir occasionally
  3. Switch to warm when it’s combined

I personally decided to add two tablespoons of cocoa powder. I first mixed the cocoa powder with some of the hot chocolate in a small ramekin then pour it into the crockpot to prevent any clumping.

And of course, serve with any of your favorite toppings 🙂 not pictured is the whipped cream!

    Amazing! I’ve actually been planning a very elaborate hot chocolate bar for the family Christmas party this year. Last year, the single crockpot batch was a hit.

    I’m also making some hot buttered rum that people can add to their hot chocolate if they want along with other candy cane fixings/artisan marshmallows.

    Oops sorry, not sure why the ingredients are listed like that!

    1 gallon whole milk

    2 (14oz) cans of sweetened condensed milk

    24oz semi sweet chocolate chips (Ghirardelli, and you can also use chocolate bars)

    3.5 cups heavy cream

    2 teaspoons vanilla extract

    1/4 teaspoon salt

    I decided to add 2 tablespoons of Guittard cocoa powder as well for a more richer taste 🙂 make sure to mix it first with some of the hot cocoa then add it to the crockpot to avoid clumping!

    I need to know if this is the same kitchen I saw on TikTok today where the husband used three stockpots and everything else they owned to make hot chocolate

    I’ve never even considered the existence of slow-cooked hot cocoa, my mind is blown!

    Ahh, my grandma makes this for special occasions, she got the recipe from a very old cookbook, from like the 1950s..
