Ingredients
4 cups milk
2 cups heavy cream
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup caramels, unwrapped
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 cup milk chocolate chips
1/2 tsp fine sea salt
Method
Start by adding all the ingredients except the sea salt to the slow cooker.
Cook on low for 2 hours, or until the caramels and chocolate chips have fully melted, which may take an additional 30 minutes. After 2 hours, stir the mixture to check the consistency.
When you’re ready to serve, mix in the fine sea salt. You can omit the salt if you prefer a non-salted version of caramel hot chocolate.
Serve the hot chocolate in mugs topped with whipped cream, if desired.
