Crock Pot Brownies

CROCKPOT BROWNIES!!!"
--1 16 oz package of brownie mix
--1/4 cup melted butter --1 egg --1/4 cup water
--1 can sweetened condensed milk --1/4 cup walnuts --1/4 cup coconut
...--1/4 cup oats
The proportions of the oats, coconut, and walnuts are for the mini crock. If you decide to use a larger size, use enough of the toppings to spread over the whole surface area.
--melt butter
--add 1/4 cup of water, the egg, and brownie mix
--stir until none of the powder is left dry; batter will be thick
--pour can of sweetened condensed milk over top.
--cover milk with a layer of oats, then coconut, then walnuts.
--close up crock pot-cook on high, if using a little crock, low if using a bigger one. Test with a knife after two hours, if it comes out clean, cook for another 20-30 minutes with lid off to get rid of the collected condensation and to help solidify the condensed milk. You will know this is done when the edges pull away from your stoneware.
Since I used my mini crockpot, this cooked for about 4 1/2 hours altogether.
