Preparation
  1. In a bowl, whisk 1 cup of heavy cream and the cocoa powder until smooth. Set this mixture aside.

  4. Pour in the chocolate chips and stir until they melt and the mixture is smooth.

Serving

Notes

Crockpot Hot Chocolate is best served fresh. For a festive touch, sprinkle cocoa powder or serve with whipped cream and chocolate sauce. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze for up to a month.
