I’m sorry to do this to you.
Only a couple weeks into January and I’m already tempting you to ditch your resolutions.
Don’t even try to resist this one. Â Just add a few {hundred} extra minutes to your workout this week. Â You won’t be sorry. Â Your family will love you. Â Birds will sing. Â Flowers will bloom. Â The sun will shine. Â Rainbows will appear.
All because you made this.

Yum! Pinned this and can’t wait to try it!
Hmm good thing my resolution didn’t involve anything food related.
Ahh I need this right now! I love anything warm and chocolatey. You did make one mistake though in calling this a “mess.” It’s not a mess; it’s a masterpiece!
You better believe that anything called Triple Chocolate Hot Mess Cake caught my attention! This looks fabulous, and funny enough, the recipe I posted today on my blog is very similar – with the addition of Kahlua, and vanilla pudding instead of chocolate. Great minds think alike!
Oooh, a slow cooker cake? It looks fabulous!
I resolve to make more things LIKE THIS!
HA! You are gonna love it Kris!
This looks fabulous! I was looking for something just like this for a cooking demo I have to do with no cooking facilities!
Oooo, a cooking demo!? That’s great Miss! I’m so glad this came at the right time!
Just reminds me I need to make something chocolatey Haven’t done that in awhile. I find when I have resolutions I am sure to break them.
I always break my resolutions too so I just set goals now. This was a great chocolate fix that I definitely needed!
I’ve got this in the slow cooker now, and if the cake tastes half as good as the batter, it’s going to be FABULOUS!!! I couldn’t stop eating it!
Ooooo! Prepare yourself for the uncontrollable urge to shove your entire face into the cooker and eat the whole thing! Enjoy!
Good thing I didn’t make any resolutions about eating better! 2 servings for me, right??
The cake turned out way better than I could have ever imagined! I’m going to have to hide it from myself! Ate some right out of the slow cooker last night, then again for breakfast this morning! This could get ugly! Lol
Great Kaylon! Trouble with a capital T for sure!
It’s way too early to be tortured like this!
I know. Terrible. Just looking at this again makes me want it. Oh boy.
A recipe title proudly touting the word ‘mess’ has to be delicious. And cooked in the slow cooker? I guess this makes you queen of the food bloggers. I bow to your greatness. Thanks for sharing!
Well, I don’t like to brag but I do have a crown I save for just such an occasion.
Thanks, Terri! xo
Oh yummmm…that’s my kind of dessert!
