This Crockpot Chocolate Candy is completely decadent and delicious and its so darn easy to make! With just four ingredients, all you need to do is add these to your crock pot or slow cooker, and let it do the work for you!
The Easy Steps to Making this Crockpot Candy
You’ll start with semi-sweet chocolate chips, vanilla candy coating, chocolate candy coating, and lightly salted almonds.
Then you’ll set your slow cooker on low, and let it all melt together, giving it an occasional stir. About an hour later, you’ll have the most delicious, chocolate almond candy!
Next Step: Top the Crock Pot Chocolate with Almonds
Once the chocolate is completely melted, you’ll begin spooning it into mini-cups. I used my mini-muffin tin, lined with mini-liners, which helps the candy take shape. Top the chocolates with an additional almond, and then let the chocolates cool.
You can speed up the cooling process by placing the chocolates in the freezer for about 10 minutes, or simply let the chocolates cool at room temperature, which will take about 45 minutes to an hour.

Hey Erin do you think these would be good with pecan halves? I am trying to use up a lot of pantry items in prep for the move and I have a ton of chocolate and some pecans in the freezer…wondering should i toast them first and maybe stir in towards the end? Thinking they could get soft compared to almonds. What do you think? Thanks for always having yummy recipes friend!
Hey there, Crystal!! Yes, I think pecan halves would be fantastic! Lightly toasting them will give the nuts a nice crunch, and will help them hold up well once the chocolate sets. Stir the toasted pecans into the melted chocolate just before you start scooping out the chocolates. Enjoy, my friend! Merry Christmas! xoxo Erin
