Lightly grease the inside of your slow cooker or spray with non-stick cooking spray.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt.
Pour in the milk, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Stir until a smooth batter forms.
Spread the batter evenly into the bottom of the prepared slow cooker.
Sprinkle the packed light brown sugar evenly over the batter.
Carefully pour the boiling water over the top of the batter and brown sugar. Do not stir.
If desired, evenly sprinkle chocolate chips over the top of the water.
Place the lid on the slow cooker and cook on HIGH for 1 hour and 45 minutes to 2 hours, or until the top layer of the pudding is set and firm to the touch.
Once cooked, turn off the slow cooker and let the pudding sit for about 5-10 minutes to allow the sauce to thicken slightly.
Serve warm, spooning out the pudding and sauce. Optionally, garnish with whipped cream, powdered sugar, or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
