Crock Pot Chocolate Brownie Pudding Cake From Crock Pot Sisterst

Chocolate Brownie Pudding Cake

1/2 cup brown sugar

3/4 cup water

2 Tbsp cocoa

2 1/2 cups brownie mix (half of a 21.5oz pkg)

1 egg

1/4 cup peanut butter

1 tablespoon soft butter or margarine

1/4 cup water

1/4 to 1/2 cup milk chocolate chips, if desired

Preparation:

Combine 3/4 cup water, brown sugar, and cocoa in a saucepan. Bring to a boil. In the meantime combine the remaining ingredients in a mixing bowl. Whisk together or mix well with a spoon. Spread the batter evenly in the bottom of a lightly buttered slow cooker/Crock Pot. Pour boiling mixture over the batter. Cover and cook on high about 2 hours; turn heat off and let stand for about 30 minutes. I made this in a 5-quart pot, but I'm sure it would be fine in a 3 1/2- quart. Spoon into dessert dishes while warm; serve with whipped cream or ice cream.

Serves 6 to 8.
