Whisk together the cocoa powder, the Pioppino powder and the milk in a bowl. Be sure to make a smooth texture to avoid lumps in the final product.
Pour the milk mixture into the slow cooker and add the sugar and chocolate chips and stir to dissolve.
Turn the temperature on low for 3 to 4 hours, giving it a good stir every hour, ensuring no chocolate sticks to the bottom of the slow cooker.
