Indulge in a cup of White Hot Chocolate – smooth, melted white chocolate with a touch of vanilla-- ideal for those cold nights when you're in the mood for something deliciously creamy!
STOVETOP: Add all ingredients to a medium pot. Whisk the mixture continuously over medium-low heat until the chocolate is fully melted and the mixture is smooth. Be careful not to let the mixture boil. Once smooth, remove from heat and serve immediately. Add optional toppings like whipped cream, marshmallows, and a pirouette cookie if desired.
CROCKPOT: In a 4-quart or larger slow cooker, add all the ingredients, starting with the chocolate chips. Do not include the toppings at this stage. Cook the mixture on LOW (never HIGH) for three hours. Briskly whisk the mixture at least once halfway through the cooking time. After three hours, whisk the mixture until well combined. Serve warm and garnish with your choice of optional toppings, such as whipped cream, marshmallows, and a pirouette cookie.

Notes
Note 1: Half-and-half: Half and half is made from equal parts whole milk and light cream, and is available in the dairy aisle of grocery stores. Substitute with whole milk for a less rich beverage.Note 2: Slow cooker: If using a slow cooker, stick to the low setting to avoid scorching the chocolate and curdling the mixture.
