For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of sea salt to the slow cooker. This will enhance the sweetness and create a more complex flavor profile.
Adjust the sweetness to your liking by adding more or less sweetened condensed milk.
If you don't have a slow cooker, you can make this hot chocolate on the stovetop. Simply combine all ingredients in a large saucepan and heat over low heat, stirring constantly, until the chocolate is melted and the mixture is smooth.
For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate chips or a combination of milk and dark chocolate chips.
Leftover hot chocolate can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave.

    I thought it was a little too sweet, so I reduced the amount of sweetened condensed milk next time.
