Easy Crockpot Candy Recipe (Peanut Clusters) + Video

peanuts

almond bark (vanilla flavored)

chocolate chips

German chocolate bar (I use Baker's)

garnish: sprinkles or crushed candy canes

Layer ingredients into a 5-quart slow cooker; cover with lid.

Cook on Low for 1 hour. Do not stir!

After 1 hour, stir mixture and continue to cook, stirring every 15-20 minutes for another hour (a total of 2 hours).

Meanwhile, line countertop or table with a long piece of parchment paper.

Turn off crockpot. Use a 1 tablespoon scooper to portion out candy from crockpot and onto parchment paper. Be sure to leave space between each peanut cluster. While the candy is still warm, garnish with sprinkles or other desired toppings.

Allow to cool completely.

What a great idea to make this in the crockpot. I also used the liner and it worked like a charm. (clean up)
Happy to be ahead in making my holiday treats.

I love this recipe. I made it first about 5 years ago to give to friends and family for Christmas. They loved it!  I don't usually cook in a Crockpot but it worked beautifully. Then I tried making it each year after but the 3rd year it seemed "burned" but people loved it anyway. Ditto 4th year. A few months ago I decided to try and figure out why it wasn't the same as the first two years. Discovered that the medium temperature on my Crockpot wasn't working and I was cooking it on high the entire time!  I now have a new Crockpot so I can again make this delicious candy for my friends and family. I recommend the recipe to anyone who likes chocolate, and be sure to give to your favorite people. They will love you for it!

Unquestionably good, and it's so simple. We make this as a holiday food gift for friends every year!

My german chocolate bar was not unsweetened. It was 40% and it still tasted great. That was the only German chocolate they had in the store. The blend of the 3 chocolates was much better than just the almond bark by itself
