What is Crockpot Candy?

Crockpot Candy is rich and decadent treat with only a few ingredients and a short cook time. This yummy recipe only calls for 5 ingredients and sprinkles if you desire.

Everything is cooked in the crock pot. Peanuts are coated in a combination of chocolate chips, peanut butter chips and white almond bark for a wonderful dessert.

The sweet and salt combination is delicious. Each cluster is decorated with festive red and green sprinkles for an easy treat. The sprinkles can easily be changed for other occasions during the year.

Ingredients

Lightly Salted Peanuts
Semisweet chocolate chips
Milk chocolate chips
Peanut butter chips
White almond bark, broken into squares
Christmas Sprinkles

How to make Christmas candy in crockpot:

Add the ingredients. Layer all the ingredients in a crock pot with the almond bark on top in a 5-6 quart crock pot.

Cook on low. Cover and cook on low for 1 hour stirring the mixture every 15-20 minutes. I would not let it get to 30 minutes without stirring. This will ensure that the chocolate does not burn on the bottom of the crock pot.

Once fully melted, scoop the clusters. Then use a spoon or a cookie scoop to scoop clusters onto baking sheets lined with wax paper or parchment paper.

Top with sprinkles. Then decorate each cluster with the Christmas Sprinkles. Make sure to do this immediately before the clusters are set.

Let the candy cool. Allow the cluster to set at room temperature or put them in the refrigerator to let the almond bark set (approximately 1-2 hours).

Serve and enjoy. Then the crockpot Christmas clusters are ready to serve and enjoy!

How to store:

Store the clusters in an airtight container or ziplock bag at room temperature. If it’s more humid where you live, store them in the refrigerator to keep them from melting.

How long does Christmas candy last?

They will last up to 2 weeks at room temperature or 3 weeks in the refrigerator.

You can also freeze this recipe. Allow the clusters to cool completely and place inside a freezer bag or container. Freeze up to 6 months.

What is almond bark?

Almond bark is a confectionary coating that consists of vegetable fat. This is different from white chocolate that consists of cocoa butter, vanilla, sugar and other ingredients.

Can I make Crockpot Candy on the stovetop?

Yes, you can make this recipe using the stove. Place all of the chocolate into a large pot.

Stir frequently to ensure it does not burn. It will only take about 15 minutes to cook.

Remove from the heat and allow to cool a few minutes. Then add the peanuts and stir until well coated.

Scoop the clusters as normal on a lined baking sheet. Allow to cool so they will set.

Variations:

White Candy Clusters. Substitute white chocolate chips for the chocolate.
Sprinkles. The sprinkles are optional. Enjoy these all year long by using different colors of sprinkles. This is a great way to serve these for other occasions.
Nuts. While peanuts are most often used, you can use cashews or mixed nuts for a change of flavor. We have also used regular peanuts or cocktail peanuts.
Candy. Reece’s Pieces and M&M’s look pretty and taste great in this recipe.

Christmas crock pot candy tips:

Place the candy in the fridge to reduce the cooling time if you are in a rush.
Give these tasty treats as gifts by wrapping in cute Christmas containers or bags.
We used a cookie scoop to make the clusters all the same size. You can really make these any size you would like.
Since the recipe calls for so few ingredients, use really good chocolate. It will make a difference.
The almond bark helps to give this treat amazing flavor. It also contributes to how the candy sets. Don’t substitute the almond bark or reduce the amount in the recipe.
Baking sheets definitely need to be lined in wax paper. It will help make cleanup much easier. Don’t skip this step.
