How do I make chocolate crock pot candy?
Making crock pot candy is as simple as dumping the ingredients into the crock pot and letting the slow cooker do the rest. I use and LOVE my Cuisinart Slow Cooker / Multi-Cooker for making this crock pot candy recipe.
Letting the Ingredients Melt
I love this simple chocolate crock pot candy recipe because you can basically just dump the ingredients into the slow cooker and let it do the work for you. While the candy and peanuts melt together, prep the pan with the mini liners.
Occasionally stir the candy
As the chocolate and candy begins to melt, you’ll want to stir it occasionally. Total time in the Crock Pot is about 60-90 minutes. Once everything has melted completely you can turn off the slow cooker.
Spoon into mini-muffin cups, and reserved peanuts on top and let cool
Once the candy has melted completely, you can then begin spooning the chocolate into a mini-muffin pan. For easy removal and serving, I suggest lining the mini-muffin pan with mini-muffin liners. Spoon the cups to nearly full levels. Top the candies with a few of the reserved salted peanuts.
Let the candy cool at room temperature for at least one hour. You can also freeze for 15 minutes to speed up the cooling/setting process.
The white chocolate, peanut butter and peanut flavors are amazing in this recipe! Sweet and salty, with the perfect crunch. This delicious Christmas Candy recipe is perfect for your next Christmas cookie/candy exchange.
They’re also fantastic to bring in to your kids school for the teachers and staff to enjoy and great to gift to friends and neighbors.

I’m so far behind, but I wanted to make sure I stopped by and thanked you for sharing at the What’s for Dinner party. Hope to see you again this week!
If you live near Aldi stores: for the candy coating I use half Aldi’s Almond bark and half of their white melties. However, I do not use their vanilla/white chocolate chips as they tend to be grainy. But Walmart’s Great Value vanilla chips work well. We also use 24 oz of peanuts. We can’t stay out of them! They are also great corner fillers when you are gifting a goodie box.
Thanks for the recipe!
