Decadent Slow Cooker Brownies
1 Picture
Time on Low: 4 to 5 Hours I recently trained with a well-known pastry chef and she shared a secret with me - use real chocolate pieces instead of cocoa powder when making desserts. What a difference this has made! This brownie recipe was inspired from my time with Chef Susan. These Decadent Brownies are super moist from slow cooking in our Crock-Pot® Casserole Crock™ and are so rich.
