Crock Pot Salty Sweet Candy
Description
The Crock Pot Salty Sweet Candy recipe involves melting three types of white chocolate—the candy coating, baking bar, and chips—in a slow cooker on a low setting. This slow and steady melting produces a smooth and creamy chocolate base. The incorporation of dry roasted peanuts and small broken pretzel pieces introduces contrasting crunch and a salty balance to the sweetness of the white chocolate. Once mixed thoroughly, spoonfuls are dropped onto a lined baking sheet and optionally decorated with sprinkles. After setting for at least an hour, the candy firms up into bite-sized treats that combine sweet, salty, and crunchy elements.
The confection is served as pieces that hold together thanks to the melted white chocolate acting as a binder. The use of different white chocolate forms ensures a thick and luscious coating that evenly surrounds the mix-ins. The nuts and pretzels bring textural interest and seasoning contrast that prevents the candy from being overly sweet. Festive sprinkles add a visual touch when desired.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds white chocolate candy coating
- 6- ounce white chocolate baking bar
- 12 ounces white chocolate chips
- 3 cups peanuts dry roasted
- 2 ½ cups pretzel twists broken in small pieces
- Sprinkles if desired, festive
Instructions
- Place white chocolate candy coating, white chocolate baking bar, white chocolate chips in a slow cooker. Put lid in place.
- Heat candy for 1 to 1.5 hours on LOW until melted. Uncover and stir the chocolate mixture.
- Stir in peanuts and broken pretzels until completely coated in the candy.
- Drop by spoonfuls (I like to use a small cookie scoop) onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone mat. If desired, top candy with sprinkles while chocolate is still soft. Allow candy to set for at least one hour to set up.
