Ingredients

• 4 cups whole milk
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1/2 cup pumpkin puree
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon pumpkin spice blend
• 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
• Whipped cream, for topping
• Cinnamon sticks or ground cinnamon, for garnish (optional)

Preparation

1. Combine Ingredients in Crock Pot: In the slow cooker, whisk together the whole milk, heavy cream, pumpkin puree, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, pumpkin spice blend, and cocoa powder until well combined.
2. Add Chocolate Chips: Stir in the semi-sweet chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed in the mixture.
3. Cook on Low: Cover the slow cooker with the lid and cook on the low setting for 2 hours, stirring occasionally to prevent the chocolate from settling at the bottom.
4. Serve: Once the hot chocolate is ready, give it a final good stir and ladle it into mugs.
5. Top with Whipped Cream: Add a dollop of whipped cream on top of each mug, and if desired, sprinkle with a pinch of additional pumpkin spice or cinnamon.
6. Garnish (Optional): For an extra festive touch, garnish each mug with a cinnamon stick or a dusting of ground cinnamon.
