Mix-in the half & half, oil and vanilla. Whisk until smooth. Stir in 1/2 cup nuts and 1/2 cup chocolate chips. The batter will be thick.

Place doubled paper towels over the slow cooker opening and place the lid on top. Cook on high for 2 hours. Uncover and remove the crock from the slow cooker. Allow to rest for 20 minutes.
