Buy a brownie mix...I still like Betty Crocker....add ingredients in directions but also add a 1 and 1/2 t of espresso powder.
Pour half the batter into pan. Then lay a whole symphony chocolate toffee bar...the ones that are around 6 inches long...on top of the the batter in the pan. Make sure to leave the chocolate bar intact...don’t chop or break it up. Then add the rest of the batter and bake as directed. You won’t believe how good these brownies are!

You can melt chocolate in crockpot and have strawberries and pineapple pieces shortbread cookies etc to dip?

@lucky-girl  How about a punchbowl  cake.  Just bake a chocol.ate cake mix and crumble it in pieces.  Put them in the bottom of a punch bowl (or any bowl).  Then make instant chocolate pudding and pour and spread that over.  Layer a container of cool whip on top of that.  You can crush candy bars, crushed oreos or other cookies  over the cool whip.  

You can also pour khalua or mudslide over the cake crumbles for an alcohol desert.

This doesn’t require any cooking - just some assembly.

Ingredients: fresh strawberries, sugar, store-bought pound cake, Hagen Daz chocolate ice cream, Reddi Whip whipped cream. 

Wash, core and slice the strawberries into a bowl. Sprinkle a couple of tablespoons of sugar on them, stir gently and set aside. If you do this more than an hour before serving, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate.

Slice the poundcake and place a slice for each person on a dessert dish.

Put a scoop of ice cream on each slice.

Spoon the strawberries over the ice cream, then top with the whipped cream. You could also pour a little hot fudge sauce over the ice cream before adding the strawberries if you didn’t think it would be too rich.
