Crockpot Christmas Crack
Description
This candy recipe involves layering nuts and various chips in a crockpot set on low heat to melt the chocolates evenly without stirring for one hour. After stirring, the melted mixture is portioned into small clusters onto parchment paper. Decorative toppings such as holiday sprinkles, flake sea salt, or crushed candy canes are applied to different clusters to add festive variety and texture contrast.
The final candy blends salty nuts with smooth melted chocolates and peanut butter chips, creating a sweet and crunchy candy that hardens as it sets at room temperature or in the refrigerator. Its composition makes it easy to serve in bite-sized treats during holidays.
Because crockpot temperatures vary, checking the candy at one hour and adjusting cooking time is advised to ensure full smooth melting. Refrigeration sets the candy faster and helps the chocolate firm thoroughly. The candy stores well in an airtight container refrigerated for up to two months or at room temperature if kept cool.
Ingredients
- 16 ounces peanuts unsalted
- 16 ounces cashews lightly salted, halves and pieces
- 12 ounces chocolate chips semi-sweet
- 10 ounces peanut butter baking chips
- 20 ounces white chocolate
- 4 ounces German chocolate bar
- holiday sprinkles optional
- candy canes optional, crushed
- sea salt optional, flake
Instructions
- Place the peanuts and cashews into a 5 quart crockpot. Stir to combine and spread the nuts evenly over the bottom of the crockpot.
- Layer the semisweet chocolate chips and peanut butter baking chips evenly over the nuts.
- Break apart the vanilla baking bars and German chocolate bar and add them to the crockpot.
- Cover and heat on LOW for 1 hour without stirring.
- Give the candy a good stir to mix well. Scoop the candy into small clusters on parchment or wax paper.
- Top ⅓ of the candy clusters with sprinkles, ⅓ with flake sea salt, and ⅓ with crushed candy canes. Allow the candy to set completely at room temperature or place in the refrigerator to set faster
Notes
- Cooking time may vary by crockpot; check at one hour and stir; continue heating if chocolate is not fully melted.
- Setting the candy in the refrigerator speeds firming and makes it easier to handle.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two months or at room temperature if cool.
