Hot Schnappolate II

Hot Schnappolate in a slow cooker? Answer… yes.
I cut this recipe into thirds to fit in the tiny crockpot.

1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Pinch of salt
3/4 cup hot water
1/2 gallon whole milk
1/2 gallon heavy whipping cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
16 ounces Peppermint Schnapps

Combine the cocoa, sugar, chocolate chips, and salt in a large sauce pan. Add the hot water and cook over medium heat until it comes to a boil. Stir the whole time and when chocolate chips are melted move mixture to the crock pot.  Add the milk, booze, vanilla, and cream. Cover and heat on low for 1 hour, stirring occasionally. When cocoa is hot, whisk in the vanilla.
