Yes it's true, you can have amazing desserts that you prep after work, and will be ready for you after supper! Slow cooking brings convenience to desserts as well. Because the ingredients are usually always at hand, I make this dessert frequently, and the kids love it! It comes out as a moist soufflé with rich fudgy pudding under it. Very rich, very moist, and very good!
This works in either a small slow cooker, or a medium one.
Ingredients
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup cocoa powder
2/3 cup sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup butter, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Topping
1/4 cup cocoa
2/3 cup sugar
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 1/2 cup boiling water
Spray the slow cooker pot with nonstick spray.
In a medium bowl, whisk the dry ingredients together until well blended. Add the milk, melted butter and vanilla and stir until well mixed into a smooth batter. It will be thick. Spread evenly in the cooker.
To make the topping, whisk together all ingredients in the medium bowl until smooth. GENTLY pour over the batter, and DO NOT stir it in. Just let it sit on top.
Cover and cook on HIGH until puffed and the top layer is set. About 2 hours. Serves 4.

Slowcooking is for Togetherness! Two Fondue recipes for one great night!
Tonight, I couldn't decide whether I wanted to make Butterscotch Fondue, or Chocolate Marshmallow Fondue. One of my friends suggested making both, and since I have two slowcookers, I am going to take her suggestion and make both for tonight's Family Night. The Butterscotch Fondue can also be drizzled over some Kettlecorn Popcorn, which is available in microwaveable bags.
Butterscotch Fondue:
In a 2-quart slowcooker:
Ingredients:
1 14-oz can sweetened condensed milk
1 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
1/3 cup light corn syrup
1 tsp vanilla
1/4 cup milk
And any sort of food you want to dip into the pot, such as: apple wedges, strawberries, cookies, or brownies.
Directions:
stir together the condensed milk, brown sugar, butter, cornsyrup, and vanilla. Cover and cook on LOW 1-2 hours. Whisk in 1/4 cup milk until smooth. Serve immediately after adding the milk.
Chocolate Marshmallow Fondue:
In a 3-4 qt slowcooker
Ingredients:
15 oz milk chocolate candy bar, chopped
1 10-oz package of mini marshmallows (large can be substituted, if desired)
1/2 cup half-and-half or light cream
And whatever you want to dip in the chocolate, such as: graham crackers, large marshmallows, strawberries, etc.
Directions:
Stir all ingredients together in slowcooker, cover and cook on LOW 1-2 hours, stirring once halfway through. At the end of cooking time, whisk well until smooth and serve immediately.
Tonight, for my family, we are having a "camp-in" in our living room, in which the whole family makes up beds of sleeping bags, blankets and pillows on the living room floor and we enjoy movies, stories, and homemade treats by lanternlight. Fondue is a great way to make Family Night even easier and more fun! All you need is a slowcooker (or two), some skewers, and some treats to dip in the pot. Let Family Night begin!
