Instructions

Add Ingredients: Pour milk, heavy cream, and sweetened condensed milk into the slow cooker. Add chocolate chips, cocoa powder, vanilla, and a pinch of salt.
Stir: Mix gently to help the cocoa powder dissolve.
Cook: Cover and cook on LOW for 2 hours, stirring every 30 minutes.
Final Stir: When the chocolate is melted and smooth, stir again until creamy.
Serve: Ladle into mugs and top with marshmallows, whipped cream, or chocolate shavings.

Notes

Cook on LOW for the creamiest results. Stir every 30 minutes so the chocolate melts evenly. For deeper flavor, use dark chocolate chips. For holiday variations, add peppermint extract or cinnamon.
