Description

This Crockpot Candy recipe is a deliciously easy treat that combines salted and unsalted peanuts with a blend of semi-sweet chocolate chips, German chocolate, peanut butter chips, and white almond bark.

Ingredients

Scale

Nut & Chocolate Mix

  • 1 jar (16 ounces) salted peanuts
  • 1 jar (16 ounces) unsalted peanuts
  • 1 bag (12 ounces) semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 bar (8 ounces) German chocolate baking bar
  • ⅓ cup (79 g) peanut butter chips
  • 2 packages (24 ounces each) white almond bark

Optional Garnish

  • Sprinkles, for garnish
  • Sea salt, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In the crockpot bowl, add the salted peanuts, unsalted peanuts, semi-sweet chocolate chips, German chocolate baking bar, peanut butter chips, and white almond bark, ensuring all components are evenly distributed.
  2. Set Crockpot: Place the lid on the crockpot and set it to low heat to begin the melting process.
  3. Initial Stirring: After about 30 minutes once the ingredients have started melting, stir them gently to mix and promote even melting; then cover and let continue cooking.
  4. Cook Until Smooth: Allow the mixture to cook on low heat for a total of 2 hours and 15 minutes, stirring once during this time to ensure a smooth, fully melted consistency.
  5. Remove and Stir: Carefully remove the crockpot lid and stir the melted mixture thoroughly to blend all ingredients evenly.
  6. Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prepare for setting the candy.
  7. Portion Candy: Using a spoon or cookie scoop, dollop heaping tablespoons of the hot candy mixture onto the parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing the dollops to your desired size and separation.
  8. Optional Garnish: Sprinkle with sprinkles or a pinch of sea salt if desired to enhance flavor and appearance.
  9. Chill to Set: Refrigerate the baking sheet with the candy dollops for about 20 minutes or until they are fully set and firm to the touch.
  10. Serve: Once set, remove from the refrigerator and enjoy this rich, nutty crockpot candy as a delightful treat or gift.

Notes

  • Stirring during the cooking process helps prevent burning and ensures even melting.
  • You can substitute almond bark with white chocolate chips if almond bark is unavailable.
  • Use parchment paper on the baking sheet to prevent sticking and to make removal easier.
  • Store leftover candy in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
  • For a nuttier flavor, lightly toast the peanuts before adding them to the crockpot.
