Ingredients
- 8 packets of Swiss Miss hot cocoa mix (or about 2 cups of the bulk mix)
- 6 cups whole milk (or water for a lighter option)
- 2 cups heavy cream (optional for extra creaminess)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Optional toppings: whipped cream, marshmallows, chocolate shavings, or crushed peppermint
Instructions
- Prepare the base: Pour the milk (or water) and heavy cream into the crockpot.
- Add the cocoa mix: Whisk in the Swiss Miss hot cocoa mix until smooth.
- Cook: Cover and cook on low for 2-3 hours, stirring occasionally to prevent the cocoa from settling at the bottom.
- Enhance the flavor: Stir in the vanilla extract during the last 10 minutes of cooking.
- Serve: Ladle the hot chocolate into mugs and add your favorite toppings.
Notes
For a creamier drink, use whole milk and heavy cream.
Stir the mixture occasionally to ensure the cocoa dissolves evenly and doesn’t stick to the crockpot.
If you want to add a festive twist, include a few drops of peppermint extract or a pinch of cinnamon.
