Crockpot Christmas Crack

Ingredients

  • 16 oz unsalted dry roasted peanuts
  • 16 oz salted dry roasted peanuts
  • 12 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 12 oz milk chocolate chips
  • 20 oz white almond bark (or white candy coating), chopped
  • 4 oz German’s sweet chocolate bar, chopped (optional but adds depth)

Instructions

  1. Layer the ingredients in the crockpot:
    Add all the peanuts first, then layer the chocolates — semi-sweet chips, milk chocolate chips, German chocolate, and finally the almond bark on top.
    (Do not stir yet!)
  2. Cook slowly:
    Cover and cook on LOW for about 2 hours, or until everything is melted.
    Stir gently every 30 minutes after the first hour to prevent burning.
  3. Mix and drop:
    Once melted and smooth, stir well to coat all the peanuts evenly.
    Drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto parchment or wax paper (or into mini cupcake liners).
  4. Let them set:
    Allow the clusters to cool and harden completely — this can take 1–2 hours at room temperature, or 20 minutes in the fridge.
  5. Store or gift:
    Store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks at room temperature — or freeze for longer.

Tips & Variations

  • Add pretzel pieces, mini marshmallows, or dried cranberries for extra crunch and flavor.
  • Use holiday sprinkles before the candy sets for a festive touch.
  • If your slow cooker runs hot, switch to ā€œWarmā€ after 1½ hours to prevent scorching.
