Notes
Prevent condensation from dripping into chocolate by placing a dry, clean kitchen towel over the crockpot and place the lid on top of the towel.
Store in airtight containers at room temperature or in refrigerator. You can layer with wax paper in between layers.
Freeze in freezer bags for up to 3 months. They freeze very well.
Cook times vary with different brands and models of slow cookers. Older models may take up to 2 hours to cook.
