Ingredients

  • 320 g (2 cups) chocolate chips
  • 250 g (1 1/2 cups) white chocolate chips
  • 200 g (7 1/2 oz) baking chocolate
  • 80 g (1/3 cup) peanut butter
  • 350 g (2 1/2 cups) unsalted peanuts
  • 350 g (2 1/2 cups) salted peanuts

Directions

1. Prepare the slow cooker

Lightly grease the inside of your slow cooker or line a tray or baking sheet with parchment paper for later.

2. Layer the ingredients

Add the peanuts to the slow cooker first, then layer in the baking chocolate, chocolate chips, white chocolate chips, and peanut butter.

3. Melt slowly

Cover and cook on low for about 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Do not stir at the beginning. Let the chocolate melt gently.

4. Stir until smooth

Once the chocolate has softened and melted, stir everything together until the mixture is smooth and the peanuts are evenly coated.

5. Portion the candy

Using a spoon or small cookie scoop, drop clusters of the candy mixture onto the prepared parchment-lined tray.

6. Let them set

Allow the candy clusters to cool and set completely at room temperature, or place them in the refrigerator for faster setting.

7. Store and serve

Once firm, transfer the candy to an airtight container and store in a cool place.

Tips for the Best Easy Crockpot Candy

Use low heat so the chocolate melts slowly without scorching. Avoid opening the lid too often, since that releases heat and slows the melting process. A cookie scoop helps create even candy clusters. For the best texture, let the candies set fully before stacking or storing them.
