Here are a few tips and substitution suggestions: <em>(Links are affiliate links and I earn a small commission from qualifying purchases.)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;background: linear-gradient(to bottom, transparent 65%, #ffedf1 35%)\" class=\"ugb-highlight\">Chocolate:<\/span><\/strong> Since most of the flavor comes from the chocolate, using a delicious, high-quality chocolate will give you the best results. Any semi-sweet or bittersweet chocolate with 55-70% cacao is perfect. You can chop up your favorite chocolate bars, or pick up some dark chocolate chips &mdash; I love using <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3HzUBvK\" data-eafl-id=\"52026\" data-eafl-parsed=\"1\" class=\"eafl-link eafl-link-text eafl-link-direct\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Ghirardelli 60% dark chocolate chips<\/a> in this recipe. Just avoid low-quality, waxy chocolate chips without much flavor&ndash;if they&rsquo;re not delicious to eat, they won&rsquo;t be delicious in a drink. In my opinion, milk chocolate is too sweet for this recipe, but if you are a real milk chocolate lover, you might try doing half milk and half dark chocolate. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;background: linear-gradient(to bottom, transparent 65%, #ffedf1 35%)\" class=\"ugb-highlight\"><strong>Cocoa powder:<\/strong><\/span><\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3Hx95fO\" data-eafl-id=\"52027\" data-eafl-parsed=\"1\" class=\"eafl-link eafl-link-text eafl-link-direct\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Dutch-processed (alkalized) cocoa powder<\/a> is my recommendation, but you can use natural cocoa powder if that&rsquo;s what you have. Just as with chocolate, using the best quality ingredients will give you the best outcome. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;background: linear-gradient(to bottom, transparent 65%, #ffedf1 35%)\" class=\"ugb-highlight\"><strong>Sweetened condensed milk:<\/strong><\/span> Make sure you&rsquo;re using <em>condensed<\/em> milk, not <em>evaporated<\/em> milk. <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3R7uHCH\" data-eafl-id=\"52028\" data-eafl-parsed=\"1\" class=\"eafl-link eafl-link-text eafl-link-direct\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Sweetened condensed milk<\/a> gives this recipe an irresistible caramel undertone. If you don&rsquo;t have it, you can add 1\/3 cup granulated sugar to the ingredients in the beginning instead. At the end of cooking, taste the hot chocolate and add more sugar if desired.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;background: linear-gradient(to bottom, transparent 65%, #ffedf1 35%)\" class=\"ugb-highlight\"><strong>Milk<\/strong>:<\/span> I&rsquo;ve made this with 1% and 2% milk, and couldn&rsquo;t tell the difference&ndash;both worked beautifully. I would say skim is probably a little skimpy (hah) for a truly rich cup of chocolate. Whole milk would be delicious and make the drink extra-rich. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;background: linear-gradient(to bottom, transparent 65%, #ffedf1 35%)\" class=\"ugb-highlight\">Cream:<\/span><\/strong> Heavy cream or whipping cream are both fine. You could substitute half-and-half, but because milk fat is the thing that makes this drink so dang creamy, using half-and-half will yield a thinner drink.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" data-pin-description=\"Hot Chocolate in the crock pot?

(Avoid the inner white layer, called the &ldquo;pith&rdquo; &mdash; this is very bitter.) Add the rind to the slow cooker at the beginning of the cooking process, and let it cook with the hot chocolate to infuse it with a vibrant orange flavor.

Because of all the dairy, I would not recommend having the ingredients sit out for more than 1-2 hours at cool room temperature before cooking begins. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Storage Instructions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>I know from personal experience that <strong>this recipe keeps VERY well<\/strong>! I made quite a lot of it when I was testing recipes, and quickly found myself with way too much hot chocolate for my family to drink at once. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can store leftover hot chocolate in a container in the refrigerator for up to a week. You will want to whisk well before dishing it out and heating it up, because the chocolate has a tendency to settle on the bottom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to keep it longer than that, I&rsquo;ve also had success freezing it! Transfer it to freezer containers or freezer gallon-size zip-top bags. If you&rsquo;re using the bags, make sure to freeze them on a baking sheet so they freeze flat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let it defrost in the refrigerator overnight, then whisk well and dish up as usual. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-faq uagb-faq__outer-wrap uagb-block-dca7af72 uagb-faq-icon-row uagb-faq-layout-accordion uagb-faq-expand-first-false uagb-faq-inactive-other-true uagb-faq__wrap uagb-buttons-layout-wrap uagb-faq-equal-height\" data-faqtoggle=\"true\" role=\"tablist\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-uagb-faq-child uagb-faq-child__outer-wrap uagb-faq-item uagb-block-5438fb9d\" role=\"tab\" tabindex=\"0\"><div class=\"uagb-faq-questions-button uagb-faq-questions\"><span class=\"uagb-icon uagb-faq-icon-wrap\"><svg xmlns=\"https:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewbox=\"0 0 448 512\"><path d=\"M432 256c0 17.69-14.33 32.01-32 32.01H256v144c0 17.69-14.33 31.99-32 31.99s-32-14.3-32-31.99v-144H48c-17.67 0-32-14.32-32-32.01s14.33-31.99 32-31.99H192v-144c0-17.69 14.33-32.01 32-32.01s32 14.32 32 32.01v144h144C417.7 224 432 238.3 432 256z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span><span class=\"uagb-icon-active uagb-faq-icon-wrap\"><svg xmlns=\"https:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewbox=\"0 0 448 512\"><path d=\"M400 288h-352c-17.69 0-32-14.32-32-32.01s14.31-31.99 32-31.99h352c17.69 0 32 14.3 32 31.99S417.7 288 400 288z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span><span class=\"uagb-question\">Is it safe to put milk in a slow cooker?<\/span><\/div><p class=\"uagb-faq-content\">Yes, in this recipe it&rsquo;s totally fine.

Once cooked, taste and add more if desired. (Peppermint extracts vary a lot in strength, so you&rsquo;ll need to rely on your taste buds to guide you.) Top with whipped cream and crushed peppermint candies.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Salted Caramel version<\/strong>: Add 1\/2 cup of soft salted caramels to the ingredients and cook as normal. At the end, top with a thick drizzle of salted caramel sauce.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Orange version: <\/strong>Start with an organic orange, and use a vegetable peeler to remove the thin outer layer of orange rind. (Avoid the inner white layer, called the &ldquo;pith&rdquo; &mdash; it is very bitter.) Add the rind to the slow cooker at the beginning of the cooking process, and let it cook with the hot chocolate to infuse it with a vibrant orange flavor. Strain out the pieces of rind before serving.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<span style=\"display: block;\"><!-- \/wp:list --><!-- wp:heading {\"level\":3} --><\/span><div class=\"wprm-spacer\"><\/div>\n<h3>Make-Ahead Instructions<\/h3>\n<span style=\"display: block;\"><!-- \/wp:heading --><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/span><div class=\"wprm-spacer\"><\/div>\n<span style=\"display: block;\">If you have a slow cooker with a timed cooking function, you can assemble all ingredients in the slow cooker in advance, and just set it to start cooking when you&rsquo;re ready!
