Hot Fudge Crock Pot Brownies – Rich and fudgy brownies made in the crock pot. So easy and sure to fix any chocolate craving!
Quite the time to live in Colorado! The Broncos win the Super Bowl and the whole state goes crazy! My 10 year old is a Green Bay Packer fan first, but the Broncos are a close 2nd. So he is over the top happy. We had to go to the store at 8am (before school) on Monday, so he could get a Super Bowl Champions shirt. And he wasn’t the only one. The store opened at 6am on Monday. Seriously, crazy! Who goes to buy Broncos shirts at 6am? Crazy sports fan, I guess.
I have been wanting to make dessert in the crock pot for a long time. I mean I use it for dinner all the time. Slow Cooker Pork Roast is a staple in the winter. But for some reason I kept putting off trying dessert. I have no idea why! Finally I bit the bullet and I could not be more happy with the results.
Seriously, fudgy brownies that require almost no work! I am usually all about homemade brownies, like these fudgy brownies, but took the short cut here and it paid off. Enjoy them warm with ice cream and hot fudge for the most sinful dessert! Hot fudge crock pot brownies are pretty much a staple for me from now on.
I made a little how to video of these hot fudge crock pot brownies, to show you just how easy they are. I used a brownie mix, and just followed the instructions on the box to make the batter. Then you whip up a little hot fudge sauce and pour over the batter. Don’t mix it or touch it!
The hot fudge will cook up and soak into brownies as they cook. The result is super fudgy and delicious brownies! Your life will never be the same again! Crock pot desserts are definitely a thing that needs to happen more often. Slow Cooker Apple Cake is going to be next on the list! Or maybe go with this Crock Pot Cherry Pineapple Dump Cake! No matter what, this will not be my last crock pot dessert.
The slow cooker doesn’t have to be just for your Crock Pot Chili for dinner. This Crock Pot Apple Dump Cake looks like the next time I am going to make!
- 1 Brownie Mix , plus ingredients listed on the box to make the batter (box for 13x9 inch pan)
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder
- 3/4 cup boiling water
- Prepare the brownie batter as directed on the box.
- Pour into crock pot
- In a small bowl whisk together sugar, cocoa powder, and boiling water. Pour gently over brownie batter, not mixing or stirring at all.
- Cover and cook on high for 2-3 hours, or until done.
- Best served warm.

March 17, 2016 at 10:44 amWhat size crockpot?
Erin S says
March 17, 2016 at 8:28 pmI used a 6 quart crock pot, but you could use smaller. Just check them for doneness, and you should be good!

September 14, 2016 at 10:38 amdo you think I could double the recipe?? Want to make this for a work lunch and I need to make at least double the batch
Erin S says
September 15, 2016 at 6:42 amDefinitely, You might have to cook it for longer though. Keep an eye on it, but it should work. Enjoy!

October 19, 2016 at 4:27 pmHow do you know when the brownies are done? I’m making them now and the edges are brown, but the middle is still runny. They have been cooking for 2hrs.
Erin S says
October 19, 2016 at 4:29 pmThe middle will be set. Similar to regular brownies – you can put in a toothpick to see if it comes out mostly clean. If you leave them slightly underdone, it will be more like lava cake…which isn’t all bad either!
Heather says
October 19, 2016 at 5:45 pmOk thanks. They have been cooking for about 3 1/2 hours and the middle is still runny.
Erin S says
October 20, 2016 at 11:03 amEvery crock pot is so different unfortunately!! The newer they are, the faster they cook! So it really is kind of trial and error. Hope they turned out!
Jo says
May 18, 2017 at 5:20 pmHELP! What size crock pot? I don’t want the brownies to be too thin or thick…
Erin S says
May 19, 2017 at 6:34 amI used a 6 quart crock pot, but slightly bigger or smaller would work fine. Just watch for the cooking time to make sure they are done.

August 25, 2018 at 11:31 pmHi how can I make these without the brownie mix?
Erin S says
August 27, 2018 at 11:00 amYou can use your favorite homemade brownie batter or cake mix. Cooking time may vary because of the size of the recipe. But both will bake up in a crock pot just fine!
