Ingredients
Scale
- 6 cups whole milk
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon peppermint extract
- 1/2 cup crushed peppermint candies, plus more for garnish
Instructions
- In a large crockpot, whisk together the whole milk, heavy cream, chocolate chips, cocoa powder, sugar, and salt. Make sure everything is well combined to prevent clumping.
- Cover the crockpot and cook on low for 2-3 hours, stirring occasionally to help the chocolate chips melt evenly. I usually stir it every 30-45 minutes.
- Once the chocolate chips are completely melted and the mixture is smooth, stir in the peppermint extract and crushed peppermint candies.
- Keep the crockpot on the “warm” setting for serving. Stir occasionally to prevent a skin from forming on top.
- Ladle the hot chocolate into mugs and garnish with extra crushed peppermint candies, whipped cream, marshmallows, or chocolate shavings.
