1/4 to 1/3 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
4 cups light cream
4 cups whole milk (I used half whole milk and the rest 1% milk)
1/3 cup bittersweet chocolate pieces or 2 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped
2 teaspoons vanilla
1. In a 3-4 quart slow cooker combine cocoa, sugar and salt. Stir in 1/2 cup hot water until the mixture forms a paste. Whisk in cream and milk.
2. Cover and cook on low heat setting for 5 to 6 hours or on high heat setting for 2 & 1/2 to 3 hours (do not boil). Whisk in bittersweet chocolate, stirring until chocolate is melted.
3. If necessary, skim 'skin' from the surface, discard. Serve immediately or keep warm, covered on warm setting for up to 2 hours.
4. To serve, stir in vanilla. Makes about 12 cups.
