Crockpot Candy is a delightful and easy-to-make treat combining peanuts, pecans, peanut butter, and rich chocolate almond bark. Slow cooked to perfect melting and mixed consistency, this festive candy is topped with optional Christmas sprinkles and chilled to firm up, making it ideal for holiday parties and gift-giving.

Ingredients

Nuts

  • 2 cups peanuts (dry roasted or regular salted)
  • 1 cup chopped pecans

Main Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 cups creamy peanut butter
  • 1 lb. vanilla almond bark
  • 1 lb. chocolate almond bark
  • 12 oz. dark chocolate chips

Topping (Optional)

  • 1/4 cup Christmas sprinkles

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: Toss all ingredients, except for the sprinkles, into your slow cooker. This includes the peanuts, chopped pecans, creamy peanut butter, vanilla almond bark, chocolate almond bark, and dark chocolate chips, ensuring everything is evenly distributed before heating.
  2. Slow Cook and Stir: Place the slow cooker on low for 2 hours or on high for 1 hour. Stir the mixture approximately every 20 minutes to ensure even melting and prevent sticking or burning on the sides of the slow cooker.
  3. Portion Into Liners: Once the candy is completely melted and well combined into a smooth mixture, spoon 2 tablespoons into each cupcake liner in a regular-sized muffin tin. This helps the candy keep its shape and makes serving easier.
  4. Add Sprinkles and Chill: Top each portion with the desired amount of Christmas sprinkles if using. Place the muffin tin into the refrigerator and chill for 1-2 hours, or until the candy is firm to the touch.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: After the candy has set, remove from the fridge and enjoy these festive, homemade treats perfect for holiday celebrations or gifting.

Notes

  • Use a slow cooker to carefully melt the candy mixture without burning.
  • Stirring every 20 minutes ensures a smooth, even mixture.
  • Peanut butter adds creaminess and flavor; creamy type is recommended.
  • Vanilla and chocolate almond barks can be substituted with regular white and milk chocolate chips if almond bark is unavailable.
  • Christmas sprinkles are optional but add festive color and texture.
  • Use cupcake liners to create perfectly portioned candy pieces and prevent sticking.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
