Ingredients
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 1 cup sugar
- 3 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup flour
- 1/2 cup caramel sauce
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Prepare your crock pot by lining the interior with parchment paper or greasing thoroughly with butter to prevent sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the peanut butter and sugar until smooth and well combined, using an electric mixer or whisk.
- Add eggs one at a time to the peanut butter mixture, mixing thoroughly after each addition to ensure a uniform texture.
- Stir in vanilla extract, mixing until the mixture becomes light and fluffy.
- Gradually fold in flour, stirring gently until just incorporated. Be careful not to overmix the batter.
- Pour the brownie batter into the prepared crock pot, spreading it evenly across the bottom.
- Drizzle caramel sauce over the top of the batter in a zigzag pattern for even distribution.
- Sprinkle chocolate chips evenly across the surface of the batter.
- Cover the crock pot and cook on low heat for 2 hours, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs.
- Once done, turn off the crock pot and let the brownies cool in the pot for 30 minutes.
- Carefully lift the brownies out using the parchment paper and transfer to a cooling rack.
- Allow brownies to cool completely before cutting into 12 equal squares.
- Optional: Drizzle additional caramel sauce or melted chocolate on top before serving.
Tips

- Don't overmix the batter - this can lead to tough brownies. Mix just until ingredients are combined.
- Line your crock pot with parchment paper for easy removal and cleanup.
- Check brownies at the
- 5-hour mark to prevent overcooking - every slow cooker is slightly different.
- Let brownies cool completely before cutting to ensure clean, neat squares.
- For extra indulgence, use high-quality chocolate chips and caramel sauce.
- Store leftover brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
