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.

I really like the idea of crock pot brownies. I’m going to try it but because a few have posted that they are dry, I’m going to add a half cup of sour cream to see what happens then. I use it in banana bread and in bundt cakes and they both come out extremely moist. Why not in crock pot brownies???
I tried these yesterday so my husband could take them to work for his employees to munch on. I followed the recipe step by step but unfortunately they were very dry and crumbly. Your pics make the brownies appear soft and chewy so I am not sure what I did wrong. As for convenience, it was great to pop the batter into the slow cooker and forget about it for a few hours. I may try again in the future and possibly add a small amount of vegetable oil or an egg yolk for additional moisture and remove from slow cooker sooner than what the recipe calls for. Thank you for sharing and I will try again in the future!
Great Ideas for the crock pot. Thank you!
Gorgeous and tempting.

I usually make flourless brownies – but brownies in a slow cooker??? Why I never??? These look decadent! I would have to hide these from my daughter if I made them – some things should not be shared 🙂
