Slow Cooker Spiced White Hot Chocolate

This hot chocolate is not for the faint of heart. Read that to yourself a few times before proceeding to the ingredient list. I am so glad that Dave and I hosted our study group the morning I prepared this, because it would not have been healthy for the two of us to try to consume all of this. Split between four people....totally reasonable.

Recipe adapted from Mom Time Out.

Ingredients: 

-8 oz white chocolate chips

-4 cups half and half

-2 cups milk

-14 oz can sweetened condensed milk

-1/2 of a 7 oz jar marshmallow creme

-4 sticks of cinnamon

-2 tsp vanilla extract

-1/2 tsp ground nutmeg

Place all ingredients in a slow cooker and cook on low for 3 1/2 hours, stirring occasionally. If you are feeling particularly bold you can add all of the marshmallow creme, by the time I got to that step I was feeling a little nervous about all of the sweet stuff I had just dumped into my crock pot and I only used half.

After 3 1/2 hours remove cinnamon sticks and serve.

Our study group raved about how much they liked this recipe. It was a nice mid-morning pick-me-up after we had been studying for several hours. It was incredibly rich, but it was not overwhelmingly sweet, however, it's obviously a once in a while treat. We were very pleased with how this turned out, it was great for serving a large group of people, I stirred it about two times an hour -- so it doesn't take too much work either.
