Chocolate Brownie Pudding Cake

Joe and I made a delicious gooey chocolately-peanut-buttery cake from this recipe. It's very rich, so good for sharing (and great with vanilla ice cream or coffee). What we did:

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup brown sugar
  
• 2 Tbsp cocoa
  
• 2 1/2 cups brownie mix (half of a 21.5oz pkg)
  
• 1 egg
  
• 1/4 cup peanut butter (Smuckers Natural)
  
• 1 tablespoon soft butter

Combine 3/4 cup water, brown sugar, and cocoa in a saucepan. Bring to a boil.

In the meantime, combine the remaining ingredients and 1/4 cup water in a mixing bowl. Mix well with a spoon.

Spread the batter evenly in the bottom of a lightly buttered slow cooker.

Pour boiling mixture over the batter.

Cover and cook on high about 2 hours; turn heat off and let stand for about 30 minutes. Or, carry slow cooker in 30 degree weather a few blocks over to the Secret Santa party where you will serve the cake.

If you make this in a 5-qt slow cooker, it will wind up being about an inch thick.
