Three kinds of chocolate and chopped pecans add loads of flavor to these Slow Cooker Triple Chocolate Brownies.
Brownies are my very favorite indulgence. Brownies with three kinds of chocolate? Even better.
Typically I make fudgy and gooey brownies but these Slow Cooker Triple Chocolate Brownies from Martha Stewart turned out more cake-like, a little drier, and quite chewy around the edges. Even still, they were delicious and I couldn’t get enough of them.
Cocoa powder, bittersweet chocolate, and semi-sweet chocolate chips add plenty of chocolate flavor. Chopped pecans add some crunch.
My kids didn’t care for the taste of the bittersweet chocolate, so I got to enjoy these slow cooker brownies all week long. And enjoy then I did!
It’s necessary to line the Crock Pot
with parchment paper so that the brownies do not burn. Cooking time can vary quite a bit based on how hot your crock pot cooks. If you know that your crock pot is a fast cooker, shorten the cooking time some. The middle will still look slightly undercooked when they are done, but it will firm up as it cools.

Tx my oven is not working at the moment so this is a great treat for us. It’s in the slow cooker now let’s see 😁😁😁
My usual recipe for brownies is just like this but uses only 1C of flour.
If they are a bit dry in the slow cooker then maybe less flour would make them moister
Has anyone tried box brownie mix in a crockpot? I have some and my oven broke. So, before I throw a box into the crockpot, I’m reaching out for help. I’m new to a crockpot as well.
Why would you make this in a slow cooker, since it’s baked within 30 minutes in a normal oven.
During the summer months, some people prefer to cook in a crock pot since it does not heat the kitchen up as much as heating the oven does.
Can you switch walnuts for the pecans??
Definitely!
I baked instead of using the crockpot. They are superly delicious. !!!!
So glad you enjoyed them and that is nice to know that they turned out well baked in the oven. 🙂
can you tell me what temperature for oven, what size pan and for how long
I used a 9″x9″ square pan. Baked at 170deg C for about 30-35 minutes. You can take this as a guide.
Tried the recipe by baking. They are delicious!!!
