This one lives up to it’s name, it is 100% “Over the Top!” Proceed with caution. This recipe can be found in "Christmas Slow Cooker, Over 250 Hassle-Free Holiday Recipes for the Electric Slow Cooker" by Dominque DeVito.

12 cups chocolate milk (highest quality possible, as it will have the best flavor)

4 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder

12 oz bag semi-sweet or bittersweet chocolate chips

2 cups heavy cream

1 tablespoon sugar

1. Pour chocolate milk into the slow cooker. Stir in 3 tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa powder until well combined, then add the chocolate chips and stir again. Cook on LOW for 2 to 3 hours, stirring occasionally.

2. To make chocolate whipped cream: In a large bowl, whip heavy cream with beaters until it starts to thicken. Add sugar and additional tablespoon of unsweetened cocoa powder. Beat until the whipped cream is stiff, about 5 minutes.

3. Serve hot chocolate in mugs, and top with dollops of chocolate whipped cream.
