How to make crockpot candy?

First, start by placing the peanuts into the bottom of the crockpot. After that, sprinkle in the chocolate chips, almond bark, and peanut butter.

Almond bark, peanuts, and other ingredients layered into a crockpot.

Next, place a lid on the slow cooker and set it to low. Let the ingredients cook for about an hour.

Then, remove the lid and stir the chocolate mixture.

The candy has cooker for an hour and needs stirring.

Afterward, place the lid back on the cooker and let the crockpot candy cook for another thirty (30) minutes.

While the candy cooks, line a nine by thirteen (9 x 13) inch baking sheet with parchment paper.

The melted chocolate is ready to be formed into candies.

Once the thirty (30) minutes have passed, remove the lid, turn off the machine, and stir everything.

Last, place spoonfuls of the candy onto the parchment paper and top it with the sprinkles. Let it cool for at least an hour before serving.

The candies has been formed on a lined baking sheet.

That’s it, your chocolate crockpot candy is done! Kim and I hope you enjoy the treat and wish you all the best 🙂

Crockpot Candy Tips:

  • This recipe creates a soft chocolate. The best way to quickly firm it up, is to place the candy into your freezer for about fifteen (15) minutes. After that, it can be stored on your counter in a sealed container.
  • In order to keep the dessert from burning, it’s best to follow the directions as they’re written. Kim layered the ingredients a certain way to keep them from sticking.
  • Be careful about substituting ingredients; otherwise, you could mess up the chemistry (the way the ingredients blend) of the candy.
