#1,738: Creamy Crockpot Hot Cocoa


So my weekend napping ritual with Matthew (age 3) is to watch youtube or facebook cooking vidoes.  You know the ones that go quickly (less than 2 minutes) and show you how to make a recipe.  We love it.  And I decided that I wanted to make a video like they do as well.  So Chloe (age 6) and I made one using this super simple hot chocolate recipe that we made for New Years.  This is by no means a great video (and I realized somehow we omitted the video clip with turning on the crockpot, and yes it's blurry at the end) but we are still excited that we made one.  Hoping we can make a few more of these in 2016...of much higher quality of course!!  :) 

As far as this recipe goes, it is super creamy and rich.  If you notice in the video we altered the amounts a little bit based on some of the ingredients we had on hand.  We only used 1 cup of mini chocolate chips and I think it was the perfect amount.  We loved this hot chocolate!

1.5 cups whipping cream
1 14oz can sweetened condensed milk
6 cups milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 cups of chocolate chips 

Stir together the whipping cream, milk, vanilla, and chocolate chips in a crockpot.

Cover and cook on low for 2 hours, stirring occasionally, until mixture is hot and chocolate chips are melted. Stir again before serving. Garnish as desired.
