I first saw this chocolate cake when my friend Pam posted it on her Facebook page! A slow cooker chocolate cake? I don’t use my slow cooker for baking, but when I saw how scrumptious this cake looked and the smile on her kids faces when they were about to eat it, I knew I wanted to make that recipe…NOW! Pam’s husband, Steve, was the one who made the cake. I loved it when Pam said “chocolate cake in the slow cooker that her husband made and the kids love!” Yup! I’m in! Steve was kind enough to share the recipe and I loved just how easy it is! When you try this recipe be sure to thank Pam and Steve, as you will enjoy this as much as we have!

This recipe is a semi-homemade recipe using already made pie crust as the bottom of the cookie. I liked that as it made the recipe very easy to follow. These do taste like a mini pecan pie with a drizzle of chocolate! I had three teenagers in the house the day I made them and needless to say there were gone very quickly! Depending on what pie crust you use will depend on how many cookies you get. I used one Pillsbury pie crust (the package has two, so you could easily double the recipe).
INGREDIENTS
1 prepared single pie crust
2 Tablespoons butter
1/2 cup pecans, chopped
1/3 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup corn syrup
2 eggs
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup milk chocolate chips for decorating
DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a large non-stick pan combine butter, pecans, brown sugar, corn syrup, salt and eggs. Cook on the stove top over medium low heat just until thickened about the same consistency of pudding. Remove from heat and set aside. Unroll your dough and using a 3 inch cookie cutter, cut out circles. Gently fold the edges of the dough up, about 1/4 of an inch making a well in the center. Spoon 1 tablespoon of the pecan mixture into each circle. Place the cookies on a parchment lined baking sheet. Do this for each cookie. Bake for 8 minutes or until the filling is just set. Remove from oven and cool on a wire rack. Place chocolate chips in a Ziploc bag and microwave for 15 seconds or until mostly melted. Snip off the tip of the and drizzle chocolate over the cookies. Cool until set.

This recipe comes from the New York Times and I am thrilled to have found it! These little bites are so tasty! These would be perfect after your holiday dinner or great as a gift to your neighbor, teachers, family and friends! The recipe calls for bourbon, but I used orange juice! These have become a quick favorite of my “taste tester” Dad! I know what he will be having at the holiday!
INGREDIENTS
2 1/2 cups pecans, toasted and finely chopped
1 cup graham cracker crumbs
1 cup dark brown sugar, packed
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 Tablespoons maple syrup
1/4 cup bourbon or orange juice
1 teaspoon vanilla
7 ounces dark chocolate
DIRECTIONS
In a medium bowl stir together pecans, graham cracker crumbs, brown sugar and salt until well combined. Add maple syrup, bourbon/oj and vanilla stirring until well incorporated. Form mixture into walnut sized balls and place on a cookie sheet to freeze for two hours. After the two hours, in the top of a double boiler or in a medium stainless steel bowl set over a pot of gently boiling water, melt chocolate. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Dip frozen balls into the melted chocolate and place onto the prepared baking sheet. Let sit for 15 minutes or until firm.
