Cooking Steps

In your crockpot, mix together the milk, heavy cream, chocolate chips, sugar, cocoa powder, and vanilla extract.
Use a whisk or a spoon to thoroughly blend all the ingredients, ensuring that the sugar and cocoa powder dissolve completely.
Secure the lid on your crockpot and set it to cook on low for 2 hours.
About halfway through, give the mixture a gentle stir to help the chocolate chips melt evenly.
Once it's ready, ladle the hot cocoa into your favorite mugs and top with whipped cream or marshmallows.
