1. Mix Base Batter
In a bowl, combine cake mix, sweetened condensed milk, and oil until smooth.
2. Pour into Slow Cooker
Transfer batter to a greased or lined slow cooker.
3. Add Chocolate Kisses
Scatter unwrapped Hershey’s Kisses evenly over the top—do not stir.
4. Cook Low & Slow
Cover and cook on LOW for 2.5–3 hours (or HIGH for 1.5–2 hours), until edges are set but center is still soft and jiggly.
⚠️ Do not overcook—it continues setting off-heat!
5. Serve Warm
Scoop directly from the slow cooker into bowls.
Top with vanilla ice cream for the ultimate “hot fudge” effect.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Gluten-free?
A: Yes! Use GF chocolate cake mix (like King Arthur or Betty Croft GF).
Q: Can I use other chocolates?
A: Yes! Try chocolate chips, chopped bars, or peanut butter cups—but Kisses melt perfectly into pockets.
Q: No sweetened condensed milk?
A: Substitute with 1 cup heavy cream + ¾ cup sugar, heated until dissolved—but condensed milk gives the best texture.
Q: Want more structure?
A: Add 2 eggs to the batter for a cakier (less lava-like) result.
