Crock Pot Chocolate Peanut Clusters

I came across a recipe called crock pot candy and thought, “well that’s different.” I wasn’t sure how it would turn out, but I was willing to give it a try. If you like the combined flavor of salty peanuts and chocolate, this is a recipe you really need to try. It could not be any easier to make and it makes a ton of candy. It would be a perfect addition to any candy/food gift baskets you might be giving for Christmas.

I made this for the first time last Christmas and it was a hit with everyone who tried it. I changed the ingredients slightly from the original recipe. I only used 1 lb of almond bark and I added dark chocolate chips.

INGREDIENTS~

2 lbs salted dry-roasted peanuts (36 ounces)
4 oz German’s sweet chocolate (4 squares)
1 12-oz package semisweet chocolate chips
1 lb white almond bark
1 12-oz package dark chocolate chips

DIRECTIONS~

Place the peanuts in the bottom of crock pot. Spread evenly.

Add a layer of German’s sweet chocolate over the peanuts.

Add a layer of semi sweet chocolate chips.

Add a layer of vanilla almond bark.

Add a layer of dark chocolate chips.

Turn the crock pot on low setting, cover and cook for 3 hours. Do not stir during cooking.

Place mini cupcake liners on counter top- lots and lots of cupcake liners. This recipe makes about 100 pieces of candy. This is about half of them.

That was the easy part. Now, for the tricky part! You will need to work fast. If you have any kitchen helpers nearby, call them in to lend a hand.

Remove crock pot lid and stir until the mixture is well blended.

Spoon the candy immediately into cupcake liners. I’ve used both regular size ones and mini liners and I prefer the mini ones. I used two teaspoons to scoop and spread the candy into the liners.

Once the candy has cooled, remove from liners and place in a sealed container. This makes a huge amount of candy, but when stored in a sealed container, it lasts for a couple of weeks.

Give this crock pot chocolate peanut clusters recipe a try and make sure you have lots of people to share it with!

I absolutely love chocolate and peanuts and this looks so easy. Thanks for the recipe I’m definitely trying this and maybe I’ll try to make a bunch before Christmas for gifts. I know I would love a container of these!
