Crockpot Christmas Crack - this sweet and salty candy your friends and family will keep on asking you for more! Peanut Butter Chocolate dipped peanuts come together in the crock pot!
I'm getting started on my Holiday Baking early this year with Crockpot Christmas Crack. Here's a tip during the Holiday season. You can use your Crockpot as a double boiler to melt your candy. This recipe called for 2 hours on low in the slow cooker, and my slow cooker finished this recipe in less than 2 hours. In fact, I think the more the crockpot heated up, the faster all the chocolate was able to melt. I was able to mix everything pretty well in less than 1 hour. This is not a recipe where you can leave your house and do all your Christmas shopping. If you're baking cookies and need something quick to make, this is it!
This recipe is also one of those recipes where you open up the bags or jars of peanuts and chocolate and just dump everything in the crockpot and let the slow cooker do it's thang. Pretty easy peasy, maybe that's why they call it Crockpot Christmas Candy? It's easy to make and addicting! Going to put some of the candy into some gallon bags and keep them in the freezer until Christmas.

The best recipe......a big hit at the agency.
Jenna says
This recipe makes quite a lot. Depends on what serving size you use.
Carol C says
How much does one batch make?
Jenna says
Yes to both.
Kathy Brown says
could you use just cashews? Could you cut the recipe in half and cook as directed?
Jenna says
Yes. I let the candy cool completely until it was hard and stuck them in freezer bags to be put in the freezer.
Wilma says
Can you freeze crockpot crack? Mine is still a little soft
charles says
I followed the recipe to the letter and have found this one to be the worst candy recipe I have ever done. It is bitter and later after allowing it to harden for one hour, it was so hard to cut. Never use this combo again.
Elaine says
I think it was too much almond bark & too much peanut butter. They were a bit too sweet for my family. They are very rich, so,besides tweaking the ingredients, I would chop the Nita’s a bit, and pour in smaller pieces, because the size that you see in the pictures is too much for one person.
