- Β½ cup (50 grams) cacao powder
- Β½ cup (75 grams) chocolate chips
- ΒΌ cup (85 grams) granulated sugar (maple syrup, agave syrup, whatever you fancy)
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract (it's much stronger than vanilla extract and it's just sooo good!)
- Optional toppings (marshmallows, mini cookies, candy cane, pretzels, shaved chocolate, ground cinnamon.)
- ΒΌ teaspoon peppermint extract (if desired)
Method
- Add the milk that you're using to the slow cooker, followed by cacao powder, chocolate chips, sugar, and vanilla and whisk until well combined.
- Cook for 2-3 hours on low setting, but keep checking every hour and give it a quick mix.
- Once it's done, add the marshmallows and allow them to melt a little. Keep on the "keep warm" setting, ladle into mugs, and top with your favorite toppings.
