Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups whole milk
  • 1 can 14 oz sweetened condensed milk
  • 2 cups heavy cream
  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the Crockpot: Set your crockpot to low heat. Add the whole milk, sweetened condensed milk, and heavy cream into the slow cooker. Stir to combine.
  • Add the Chocolate: Pour in the semi-sweet chocolate chips and stir gently until the chocolate starts to melt into the milk mixture. Cover and cook on low for 2 hours, stirring occasionally to prevent the chocolate from burning.
