Ingredients

Peppermint Hot Chocolate

  • 1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1/2 cup cocoa
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla
  • 5 cups whole milk (Or use 2%. Don’t use skim milk)
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • ½ cup finely crushed peppermint

Toppings

  • Whipped cream
  • Crushed candy cane
  • Marshmallows

Instructions

  • Combine sweetened condensed milk, cocoa, vanilla, milk and cream in your slow cooker and whisk together until combined. (This will take a few minutes for the cocoa to mix in.)
  • Cook on low for 2 hours or until heated through, stirring about every 20 or 30 minutes.
  • Serve with whipped cream, marshmallows, or more crushed peppermint candy (or all three!).

Notes

This can also be done on your stove top by combining all ingredients in a large saucepan and whisk until combined. Heat over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally until heated through (don't let boil).
