Step 6Expert Tips You can substitute 1/4 cup hot fudge topping, heated, for the chocolate drizzle. Since Slow cookers vary. Keep an eye on your bread while it's baking so it does not get overdone. If your cooker has a removable ceramic container, turn the container halfway around about halfway through cooking time for more even browning.
