🚀Jump to recipe card for exact quantities and detailed instructionsAre you a chocolate lover or peanut butter fan (or both!)? Either way, this will quickly become one of your favorite crockpot recipes.
It is a decadent dessert made with just a few simple ingredients. My idea of the perfect recipe!
🥣Assembly
In a large bowl, mix the brownie batter according to the instructions on the package. Add the caramel sauce into the batter mixture and stir to combine. Pour this mixture into your well-greased/sprayed (or lined) slow cooker.
Place spoonfuls of peanut butter, one spoonful at a time, into various spots around the batter. A cookie dough scoop works well for this task.
These peanut butter clumps should be plopped right into the brownie batter in random places. Do not stir.
Sprinkle the top of the batter with peanut butter baking chips. Cover slow cooker with lid and cook on the high heat setting (low will not work well!).
Allow to cook for 3-4 hours. You will know your dish is done when you a toothpick can be poked into the center of it and come out almost clean.
Top Tip
If your slow cooker doesn't cook evenly (as many don't) about ½ way through cooking time, lift the ceramic insert carefully out of the heating element and rotate 180º prior to placing it back down. This will allow the contents of the brownies to have equal access to the hotter side of your slow cooker.

😉Hints & hacks
- I haven't tried this slow cooker spoon brownie with crunchy peanut butter. But, what could be bad? If you try it, please let me know how it went in the comment section below.
- I love making these chocolate peanut butter brownies in my casserole crock pot (although it works well in an oval slow cooker too).
- To make clean up easier, line the slow cooker with a slow cooker liner or parchment paper.
- If you don't use a liner (I prefer not to when serving guests), coat slow cooker with a non-stick agent.
- Serving this dish warm is best. But, it is good cold from the fridge or at room temperature too!
- I have not tried this recipe with chocolate cake mix, only brownie mix. If you try it with cake mix, I would love to hear how it goes in the comment section below!
NOTE
Each slow cooker is different. This recipe may take longer in my slow cooker than it does in others. The first time you make this, keep an eye on it after 2 hours to ensure the edges aren't burning

I think it left mine in a little too long because it burned on the edges a tiny bit. But it was soooo amazing. We even ate the burned parts!
