    Crockpot are great for making things like roast and soup, but have you ever made dessert in your slow cooker? If you haven't, you're about to blown away!

    These rich brownies "bake" right in the slow cooker. There are a few tips and tricks that help you make perfect brownies, but these brownies are so very easy to make.

    And the brownies are pretty great! They're rich and fudgy in the center with great chewy edges and pockets of melted chocolate.

    How To Make Slow Cooker Brownies

    In a large bowl, whisk the melted butter and sugar together until well-combined. Add the eggs and vanilla extract and whisk in until well-combined.

    How To Serve Brownies

    These brownies are best served warm. They can be served as-is or topped with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

    Tips For Making Slow Cooker Brownies

    • The thin cotton towel helps to absorb moisture as it cooks. Just be sure that the cotton towel isn't too thick.
    • I recommend mixing the batter by hand to avoid overworking the batter.
    • If you have questions about making or baking brownies, check out my post on how to make brownies.
    • The center of the brownies will still look gooey on top. The brownies should look done and shiny around the edges when cooked.
    • If your slow cooker has a hot spot in it, line it with a foil collar before cooking.
