Slow Cooker Hot Chocolate

A cold, blustery day for book club meant hot chocolate.  Even better?  Put everything in the slow cooker and have it ready for the entire time.  Top with marshmallows - even make your own (http://tryandlike.blogspot.com/2012/07/marshmallows-dorothy-thomas.html )

You'll need a 4 quart slow cooker or larger and I do not recommend a slow cooker liner for this recipe.

4 Ounces Unsweetened Chocolate, Grated
1 Cup Semisweet Chocolate Chips, Chopped
14 Ounce Sweetened Condensed Milk
1 Half Gallon Milk
1 Tbl Vanilla
1/2 Tsp Cinnamon

Turn slow cooker on low.  Combined chocolates and sweetened condensed milk in slow cooker - whisk to combine.  Cover, turn slow cooker to high, cook for 30 minutes.  Stir every 5 to 10 minutes to prevent sticking and combine.  When chocolate is melted, whisk in about 2 cups milk until smooth.    Whisk in vanilla and cinnamon.  Gradually stir in remaining milk.  Cover again, cook for an additional 2 hours.  Stir with whisk before serving, turn to warm or low if keeping slow cooker on for a long time.
