Ingredients

2 cups Nutella
14 ounces sweetened condensed milk
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 teaspoon nutmeg optional
6 cups whole milk
¼ cup whipped topping plus more for topping
Marshmallows, Cool Whip, chocolate shavings, chocolate drizzle, a shot of liquor, and/or mini marshmallow bits, etc. for topping

Instructions

Add the Nutella, sweetened condensed milk, chocolate chips, and nutmeg to a 6 or 8 quart crockpot and stir well.
Add the milk and stir again. The chocolate will settle to the bottom and not mix well until it begins to warm up.
Turn the crockpot to low and cook while covered for 2 hours, stirring every 30 minutes. The hot chocolate will come together as the mixture gets hotter.
Once heated through and smooth, stir the whipped topping into the hot chocolate.
Ladle the hot chocolate into mugs and top with your choice of toppings.

Notes

We like to serve this Nutella Hot Chocolate at holiday parties with an array of toppings for guests to choose from, such as mini marshmallows, whipped topping, shaved chocolate, chocolate syrup, and melted Nutella.

Small bottles of aged rum or bourbon also make a great addition to individual mugs, if you’d like a spiked hot chocolate.
