A rich and creamy slow cooker hot chocolate infused with sweet caramel and a touch of sea salt for a decadent and comforting winter drink, perfect for cozy gatherings or quiet evenings at home.


Ingredients

Liquid Ingredients

  • 8 cups milk
  • 1 can sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Flavorings

  • 2 cups chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup caramel sauce
  • 1 tsp sea salt


Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: Add the milk, sweetened condensed milk, chocolate chips, caramel sauce, sea salt, and vanilla extract into the slow cooker.
  2. Cook and Stir: Set the slow cooker to Low and cook for 2 hours, stirring occasionally to ensure all ingredients melt evenly and incorporate into a smooth, creamy hot chocolate.
  3. Serve Warm: Once cooked, ladle the hot chocolate into mugs and optionally drizzle with additional caramel sauce before serving for extra indulgence.

Notes

  • Adjust the amount of sea salt according to your taste preference to achieve the perfect balance of sweet and salty.
  • For a richer and more intense chocolate flavor, use dark chocolate chips instead of milk chocolate.
  • Stir occasionally during cooking to prevent sticking and to ensure a smooth texture.
