Step 1

Place all ingredients except for the tequila, chocolate liqueur, and toppings into a slow cooker. Whisk to get the cocoa powder as mixed in as possible.

Step 2

Cook on high setting for 1 hour, stirring often. After 1 hour, remove cinnamon sticks, stir, then cook on low setting for another 1 or 2 hours, or until chocolate melts completely.

Step 3

Stir in the tequila gold (if desired) and chocolate liqueur, then turn slow cooker down to “warm”.

Step 4

Serve with toasted vegan marshmallows on top.
