    Ingredients

    The ingredients are common items you may have around your house already.

    • Almond Bark
    • Unsweetened Chocolate - see below
    • Salted Peanuts
    • Peanut Butter - crunchy preferred

    I linked to the almond bark (above) so you could see what I mean when I say almond bark. It is definitely cheaper to buy it at Walmart or Aldi, with Aldi being the first choice.

    Making the crock pot candy

    Chocolate layered in a white oval crock pot.

    Depending on how much you make at one time, is how big of a crock pot you should use. My first batch was small, only making about 20-25 candies at about a half dollar size. Because of that, I used a small crock pot.

    For a larger batch, which I am going to give you the recipe for, you could use a regular sized crock pot. This batch would yield about 75-100+ candies. (Load up those Christmas trays, right?!?)

    Put peanuts, peanut butter, chocolate and almond bark in a crock pot and set the crock pot on low. It will take about two hours.

    Add-ons

    This is where you can get creative. Pretzels are always a good addition. Dried cranberries would be fun as well.

    Tips

    • Don't forget about this recipe and walk away. You need to check on it everyone once in a while and stir.
    • You can add pretzels with the peanuts for a more salty candy.
    • To store, after cooling completely, place in an air tight container. This candy could be placed in the refrigerator but it is not necessary. However, don't store it in a warm place (near the oven).

    Cooling

    When the chocolate is completely melted scoop a small amount on wax or parchment paper on a cookie sheet. The candy will cool faster in the fridge, but can set up on the counter, out of the sun.
