Slow Cooker Hot Chocolate

-
Christmas 2016

We started making this during the winter of 2016-2017. Everyone agrees its the best! It is easy to halve and especially good with whipped cream and sprinkles, or with a splash of peppermint schnapps. 
Ingredients
2 (14 oz) cans of sweetened condensed milk
2 (12 oz) bags of semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 gallon of milk (I used 2%)
1 teaspoon vanilla
Marshmallows and candy canes to garnish, optional
For easy clean up, use a slow cooker liner.  
In your slow cooker, layer in your sweetened condensed milk and chocolate chips. Turn slow cooker to high and stir every 15 minutes for the first 30 minutes (this will help it melt faster).  Once your chocolate chips have melted, whisk in your milk and vanilla.  Cover and continue to cook on high as you serve this cocoa for the next 3 to 4 hours.  Continue to stir periodically.  Garnish with marshmallows and candy canes if you like.
