The perfect hot chocolate is made in a slow cooker and served in the same way, allowing the drink to gradually thicken and become richer. Place bowls of mini marshmallows and crushed peppermint candies nearby so guests can add their own flavors to their cups. Perhaps someone would like to add a splash of peppermint schnapps to their cocoa.

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:
- In a 6-quart slow cooker, combine the sugar and cocoa powder. Turn the slow cooker on high and gradually whisk in the milk until there are no lumps. Add the vanilla and salt, cover, and cook for 1.5 hours. The sugar and cocoa powder should be completely dissolved.
- Stir in the chopped chocolate little by little until completely melted. Close the lid and simmer for another 30 minutes, until the hot chocolate thickens.
- Turn the slow cooker to auto-keep warm and serve the hot chocolate with bowls of crushed candy canes and mini marshmallows, and a small decanter of schnapps, if using.
- To serve, place a couple of spoonfuls of candy canes into a mug of hot chocolate and let them melt, or add 2 tablespoons of schnapps and garnish with mini marshmallows.
