Test Kitchen tips
Top with caramel and chopped nuts for a turtle flavor variation.
When I first made my decadent slow cooker chocolate cake, my husband's and daughter's expressions said it all. She says it's one of her "most favorites." Later, I brought one of these to our next-door neighbors. Their teenage son, who answered the door, ate the whole thing without telling anyone else about it!
