Instructions
Add the milk, evaporated milk, and cocoa powder to the crock pot. Whisk to combine. The cocoa powder won't fully incorporate until the milk is warm.
Mix in the chocolate chips, brown sugar, and vanilla.
Cover, and set to low.
Let the cocoa heat for 40 minutes, stirring every 20 minutes.
After 40 minutes have passed, add in the cornstarch, and mix until fully incorporated.
Let the mixture continue heating for about 80 more minutes, stirring every 20 minutes.
Switch to keep warm to serve.
Serve with your desired toppings.
Notes
This recipe was made using a 5 quart slow cooker. A similar sized crock pot, like a 4 quart, would also work.
Feel free to adjust the sugar to taste.
I don't recommend heating the milk on high.
