Equipment

3 to 4-quart crock pot

Ingredients

▢ 2 cup milk
▢ 1 (3.9-ounce box box instant chocolate pudding (fudge or regular)

▢ 3 large eggs
▢ 1⅔ cup water
▢ ⅓ cup oil
▢ 12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate morsels

Instructions

Make the pudding

In a medium-sized bowl, whisk the milk and instant pudding together. Refrigerate until almost firm, about 10 to 15 minutes.

Make the cake batter

In a large bowl add chocolate cake mix, eggs, water, and oil.
Using an electric mix on low speed, mix ingredients together for 30 seconds. Scrape down the sides of the bowl then beat for 2 minutes on high speed.

Assemble and slow cook

Spray the inside of the crock pot with nonstick spray. Pour the cake mix on the bottom.
Top with pudding. (Tip: If the pudding is very thick, use large spoonfuls of pudding placed evenly across the cake batter).
Sprinkle with chocolate chips.

Slow cook

Cover and cook on high 2 to 2½ hours on high or until the top appears baked and has solidified.
