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