Notes

Choose a high quality white chocolate for the best results. I prefer Ghirardelli. A white chocolate baking bar can also be used, just break it into pieces before adding to the slow cooker.
Semi-sweet chocolate chips can be used in place of white.
To simply make white hot chocolate, omit the peppermint extract.
To make a white mocha hot chocolate, add a splash of espresso.

Every slow cooker runs differently. Times given are a general recommendation and should be tested in your own slow cooker and adjusted as needed.
