Slow Cooker Salted Caramel Hot Chocolate
Creamy, rich salted caramel hot chocolate made right in the crock pot!
Servings: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 2 cups semi sweet OR milk chocolate chips see note
- ½ cup caramels unwrapped
- 4 cups milk
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- ½ teaspoon fine sea salt (for regular non-salted caramel hot chocolate, leave this out)
- optional: whipping cream, caramel sauce (like caramel ice cream topping)
Instructions
- Add chocolate chips, caramels, milk, heavy cream, and vanilla to the slow cooker. Cover and cook on low for 2 hours.
- Stir the hot chocolate. If the chocolate chips or caramels are not completely melted, cover and allow to cook for 20-30 minutes longer. When ready to serve, stir in the sea salt. Serve hot with whipped cream and additional caramel sauce if desired.
Notes
Chocolate: milk chocolate chips will yield a much richer flavor - I like to use a combination of both!
