Ingredients for 4 servings

1/3 cup cocoa powder

1/3 cup organic sugar
1 t vanilla
4 cups coconut milk (can use other milks, too; if you use a sweetened milk, you can reduce the amount of sugar you use)
dash of cinnamon

dash of sea salt

optional, chocolate bar, shaved

optional, whipped cream (coconut cream, whipped or whipped cream of choice)

Directions

Whisk all ingredients together in a crock pot. I used my 2-quart crock-pot. Don't worry if the cocoa powder doesn't completely dissolve into the milk, but try to mix thoroughly.

Heat on high for 1 ½ hours or until heated through.

Stir, and serve immediately or turn crock-pot to warm.

To make your hot chocolate an extra special treat, you can top with your favorite whipped cream, shaved chocolate bar and candy cane.
