    This heaven in a crock pot dessert combines fudge brownie mix and cookie dough mix together to make a decadent dessert in your slow cooker.

    Have you ever made a dessert in the crock pot before? I have never done that and I wonder why I've waited this long to try it. My cake didn't take 3 hours like the cooking time suggested, it took only about 2. This dessert is pure heaven and reminds me of a trifle dessert that my husband used to eat all the time at Ruby Tuesday's.

    What Slow Cookers or Crockpots are the Best? 

    One benefit of using a slow cooker is that it saves time and effort. You can add all of your ingredients to the pot, set the temperature, and let the slow cooker do the rest. Go to work and come home to a great meal!

    When choosing a slow cooker think of the size of your family first. Do you have a large family of 6 or more? You probably want a larger crockpot that is 7 qt or more. For smaller families that are 4 or less choose a 4 qt slow cooker and just adjust the recipe ingredients in half. No need to change the cooking times.

    It can cook simple basic food such as Crock Pot Potato Soup, 2 Ingredient Slow Cooker Salsa Chicken, Slow Cooker Beef Stew, and Slow Cooker Hawaiian Pulled Pork.

      Is the chocolate chip cookie mix 7.5 oz or 17.5 oz. because I can’t find the smaller pouch.

      The brownie batter was super thick and hard to get spread out, are you supposed to make it according to the instructions or just use the mix?
