Notes

Preparation

You can prep this slow cooker cocoa up to six hours ahead of time and just change the setting to "Keep Warm" until it's time to serve. Keep in mind that the milk will form a kind of skin on top of the hot chocolate after it sits for a while. Don't worry, just give it a stir.

Storage

Allow the hot chocolate to cool then carefully transfer it to an airtight container. Store in the refrigerator for up to five days. Do not place the crockpot in the refrigerator.
