Hot Fudge Brownies

You will need a disposable crock pot cooking liner for this recipe (can be found near the plastic wrap and aluminum foil in most grocery stores).

Place the liner inside the crock pot as directed on the package.

In a mixing bowl, combine the brownie mix plus the ingredients listed on the package to prepare. Mix well.

Pour the prepared brownie batter into the lined crock pot and spread it evenly to the edges.

In a bowl or large measuring cup, mix together the chocolate syrup and hot water. Pour the mixture evenly over the brownie batter. DO NOT STIR.

Cover the crock pot and cook on high heat for 2-3 hours or until the edges of the brownie are set (the center may still look moist). Test for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center of the brownie. It should come out clean.

Let the brownie sit in the crock pot with the lid off and the crock pot turned off for 30 minutes.

To serve, cut the brownie into wedges and carefully remove with a pie server, or scoop out the brownie with a spoon or ice cream scoop. Serve with a dollop of ice cream and a drizzle of chocolate sauce.
