Description

This Crock Pot Candy recipe combines dry-roasted peanuts, almond bark, and chocolate in a slow cooker to create easy, indulgent bite-sized treats.

Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds dry-roasted peanuts
  • 2 pounds almond bark (chocolate or vanilla)
  • 12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 4-ounce German chocolate bar
  • Mini paper baking cups
  • Sprinkles (optional garnish)

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: Place the dry-roasted peanuts, almond bark, semi-sweet chocolate chips, and the chopped German chocolate bar into the crock pot. Do not add sprinkles yet.
  2. Initial Heating: Cover the crock pot and set it to the warm setting. Let the mixture sit for 1 hour without stirring to start melting the chocolates and almond bark gently.
  3. Stir the Mixture: After the first hour, stir the ingredients carefully to blend and melt the chocolates evenly.
  4. Continue Heating: Keep the crock pot on the warm setting and continue heating for an additional hour. Stir the mixture every 15 to 20 minutes to ensure the chocolate melts smoothly and no burning occurs.
  5. Portion the Candy: Once fully melted and combined, use a spoon or small scoop to portion the candy into mini paper baking cups. To help them hold their shape, place the paper cups inside a mini muffin pan before filling.
  6. Add Garnish and Set: Top each candy with sprinkles if desired. Allow the candies to cool at room temperature until set and firm.
  7. Store: Pack the set candies in an airtight container to keep fresh.

Notes

  • Using the warm setting prevents the chocolates from burning or seizing during melting.
  • You can substitute vanilla almond bark for a different flavor profile.
  • Placing mini cups in a muffin pan helps maintain their shape while filling.
  • Sprinkles add a festive touch but are optional.
  • Store candies at room temperature in an airtight container for up to two weeks.
