Crockpot Chocolate Cobbler
If you’ve never made a dessert in your slow cooker, this Crockpot Chocolate Cobbler will win you over fast. It’s rich, gooey, and ridiculously easy – the kind of dessert that practically makes itself while you handle dinner (or binge your favorite show).

Now, I’ll be honest – this one’s not much to look at. When it’s done, the top looks a little burnt and messy… but don’t you dare doubt it. Under that dark, fudgy crust is a warm, molten chocolate layer that’s pure heaven. It’s like the love child of a brownie and a hot fudge sundae. Just add a scoop of vanilla ice cream, and you’ve got dessert perfection.
And if you’re on the hunt for a slow cooker that’s as cute as it is functional, I’m obsessed with The Pioneer Woman Crockpot – it’s lightly speckled, has wooden handles, and looks adorable sitting on the counter while it works its magic.

If you’re in a chocolate-lover’s mood, don’t stop here! Try my Chocolate Chip Waffles for breakfast bliss, Chocolate Lasagna for a cool and creamy dessert, or Rocky Road Brownies for the ultimate fudge-filled treat.

Tips for Perfect Crockpot Chocolate Cobbler
- Don’t cook on low. It just doesn’t set right – you’ll end up with soup instead of cobbler. Stick with high for the perfect texture.
- Trust the process. The top will look dark – even a little burnt – but that’s the deep, rich chocolate doing its thing. It’s fudgy, not burnt!
- Keep it tidy. For easier cleanup, mix the batter in a separate bowl before adding it to the Crockpot.
- Reheat like a pro. Warm individual servings in the microwave for 20–30 seconds. Add a splash of milk or cream before reheating if it becomes too thick.
