Crockpot Candy

My Crockpot Candy is the type of recipe that almost seems too good to be true. You throw a few ingredients into your slow cooker, stir a couple of times, and out comes a batch of glossy, chocolatey, nutty clusters that taste like they came from a candy store.

Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 16 oz jar dry roasted, unsalted peanuts
  • 1 16 oz jar dry roasted, salted peanuts
  • 1 12 oz package semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 4 oz sweetened German chocolate green-wrapped bar, broken into chunks
  • 3 lbs white almond bark broken into pieces
  • This equals two 24 oz packages; check packaging, as some brands now come in slightly smaller quantities. Just make sure to use the full 3 lbs.

Method
 

Layer ingredients in the crockpot:
  1. In a 6-quart slow cooker, layer the peanuts on the bottom (both salted and unsalted).
  2. Add the semi-sweet chocolate chips, then the broken German chocolate pieces.
  3. Finally, top everything with the almond bark chunks. Do not stir.
Cook low and slow:
  1. Cover and cook on LOW heat for 2 to 2 ½ hours. Check around the 2-hour mark.
  2. Once everything is melted, stir thoroughly until all the chocolate and bark are combined and the peanuts are evenly coated.
Drop the candy:
  1. Line several baking sheets or countertops with parchment or wax paper.
  2. Using a spoon or small cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of the candy mixture onto the paper to form clusters.
Let set:
  1. Allow the candy to cool and harden completely at room temperature, about 1–2 hours depending on your kitchen temperature.
  2. Once set, transfer to containers for storage or packaging.
  3. Enjoy!
