It's a chocolate candy recipe you can make in your slow cooker! Use this easy Crock Pot Candy recipe to create your own customized sweet treats with just a few pantry friendly ingredients.
Ingredients
- 2 cups (16 oz) Roasted, Salted Peanuts
- 2 cups (16 oz) White Chocolate Bark, chopped
- 1 cup (8 oz) Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
Instructions
- In the crock pot, combine peanuts, chopped white chocolate bark, and chocolate chips.
- Turn slow cooker on low for 90 minutes. Stir every 30 minutes.
- When chocolate is fully melted, scoop 1 Tbsp mounds onto a parchment paper lined baking sheet. Immediately add sprinkles or coarse sea salt, if desired.
- Allow chocolates to set at room temperature (about 90 minutes). Once set, store in airtight container for up to 7 days.
Notes
- Nuts- swap the peanuts for pecans or cashews
- White Chocolate- often sold as "almond bark" or Ghirardelli melting wafers.
- Chocolate Chips- use what you love. Dark chocolate, semi-sweet, and milk chocolate are great options. or keep the treats white and use white chocolate chips!
- Peppermint- top with crushed candy canes or peppermints for a festive holiday treat.
- Stove Top- no slow cooker? Use a double boiler to melt white chocolate bark and chocolate chips. Fold in nuts and spoon onto parchment paper.
- Storage- for easy storage and serving, scoop chocolate straight into paper mini muffin liners. Allow to set in the liner.
Variations:
- Turtles: use half peanuts and half pecans (or all pecans)! Add 8 oz caramel bits (or chocolate caramels) during the last 10 minutes of cooking. They might not melt completely, that's perfect. Spoon onto parchment paper. Top with sea salt or sprinkles immediately.
- White Chocolate (Valentine's Day)- Use white chocolate bark and white chocolate chips (omit the semi-sweet chips). Add holiday sprinkles and allow to set. Cashews pair very nicely with the white chocolate. You can even use half peanuts and half cashews for a more budge friendly treat.
