Main Ingredients

4 cup whole milk
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
0.25 cup granulated sugar
0.25 tsp salt
1 tsp peppermint extract
0.5 cup crushed candy canes

Method

Steps

In the slow cooker, whisk together the milk, heavy cream, cocoa powder, sugar, and salt until well combined.
Add the chocolate chips, cover, and cook on low for 2 hours, stirring every 30 minutes to prevent sticking and ensure smooth melting.
Stir in the peppermint extract until fully incorporated.
Ladle the hot chocolate into mugs, top with crushed candy canes, and serve immediately.

Notes

For an extra festive touch, garnish with whipped cream and a candy cane stick. Adjust peppermint extract to taste; start with ½ tsp if you prefer a milder flavor.
