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.

Turned out really well for me (I omitted the Peanut Butter) - family loved it!
Has anyone adjusted the chocolate mix (maybe go with all semi-sweet chocolate, or dark chocolate instead the milk chocolate)?? Thanks, Bob

I made these, Luv them. I have changed the peanut butter chips to butterscotch. When I drop the clusters, I drop on mini pretzels. This helps me keep a smaller cluster and adds an extra salty crunch to them. Will make more,

Adding in rice Krispies sounds delicious!
Jenna says
If you want to go for it.

Can you use choc almond bark instead of white almond bark
Michelle Lee Sorvala says
These are very good. I just added some rice krispies, at the very end of cook time, to give them the little extra crunch!
