Ingredients

Units Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 5 cups sweet cream creamer
  • 2 1/2 cups half and half
  • 1/4 cup cocoa powder
  • 4 ounces semi-sweet chocolate bars (2 bars)
  • 1 1/2 cups mini marshmallows

Optional Toppings

  • Chocolate syrup
  • Chocolate shavings
  • Cinnamon
  • Whipped cream

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: Add the sweet cream creamer, half and half, and cocoa powder to the crock pot and whisk together until fully combined. Break the semi-sweet chocolate bars into smaller squares and add them to the slow cooker. Cover the crock pot with its lid.
  2. Cook Slowly: Cook on low heat for 2 hours 30 minutes, whisking vigorously every 30 to 45 minutes to help the chocolate break up and blend smoothly into the mixture.
  3. Add Marshmallows: Ten minutes before the end of the cook time, stir in the mini marshmallows, allowing them to melt slightly and enrich the hot chocolate.
  4. Serve: Pour the hot chocolate into mugs and top with any optional desired toppings such as chocolate syrup, chocolate shavings, cinnamon, or whipped cream.

Notes

  • Store leftover hot chocolate in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to four days.
  • Reheat gently on the stove or microwave, stirring occasionally to maintain smooth texture.
  • Whisking regularly during cooking prevents the chocolate from settling and ensures a creamy consistency.
  • Use good quality semi-sweet chocolate bars for the best flavor.
  • Optional toppings add extra flavor and texture but can be omitted for a classic hot chocolate experience.
