US - Metric

Instructions

Combine all of the ingredients into a 6-quart slow cooker bowl.
Whisk vigorously until cocoa powder has dissolved and ingredients are well combined (about 5 minutes).
Cook for 2-3 hours on low setting while whisking occasionally to prevent the chocolate from burning on the bottom.
When hot chocolate is ready, add marshmallows into the hot chocolate and let melt little before serving.
Additional toppings: finely chopped (or flaked) chocolate), chocolate fudge sauce, chocolate chips, smashed candy canes.

Notes

Leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated on the stove or in the microwave.
