A decadent Oreo lava cake made in a crockpot with a hidden candy bar layer. Gooey, chocolatey, and irresistibly easy to make for any occasion.

Ingredients

1 box chocolate cake mix (with ingredients required on the package: usually eggs, oil, and water)
12 Oreo cookies, roughly chopped
4 mini candy bars (e.g., Snickers, Milky Way, or your favorite)
1 cup chocolate chips
1/2 cup milk
Non-stick spray
For Topping
Vanilla ice cream or whipped cream
Additional crushed Oreos (optional)

Directions

Spray the inside of your crockpot generously with non-stick spray to prevent sticking.
Assemble the Layers
Prepare the chocolate cake mix according to the package instructions.
Pour half of the cake batter into the crockpot.
Sprinkle the chopped Oreos evenly over the batter.
Place the candy bars in the center of the batter, creating a “lava” layer.
Pour the remaining cake batter over the candy bars.
Add the Chocolate Chips and Milk
Sprinkle the chocolate chips on top of the batter.
Drizzle the milk evenly over the chocolate chips to enhance gooeyness.
Cook in the Crockpot
Cover and cook on high for 2 hours or until the edges are firm and the center is gooey.
Serve Warm
Scoop the warm lava cake into bowls and top with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream. Garnish with crushed Oreos for extra indulgence.

Notes

Avoid overcooking; the center should remain gooey for that perfect molten texture.
Use your favorite candy bars for a personalized twist.
Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days; reheat gently in the microwave.
