Slow Cooker Chocolate-Covered Peanut Clusters
Slow Cooker Chocolate-Covered Peanut Clusters bring together different types of peanuts and multiple chocolate varieties cooked slowly in a slow cooker until melted and well combined. Once cooled and set, the mixture forms individual clusters of sweet and nutty treats. This no-bake method yields rich, textured confections that can be stored refrigerated or frozen.

Ingredients
- 16 ounces peanuts or dry roasted peanuts, unsalted
- 16 ounces peanuts salted, cocktail
- 12 ounces semisweet chocolate chips
- 12 ounces milk chocolate chips
- 20 ounces peanut butter chips
- 32 ounces white almond bark or vanilla candy melts
Instructions
- Layer all of the ingredients in order in a 6-quart slow cooker. Cover and cook on low for 2 hours. [NOTE: While I have made this multiple times without an issue, it seems that many people have experienced the ingredients burning. I would recommend stirring all of the ingredients together and checking on it and stirring every 30 minutes to avoid an issue.]
- Remove the lid and stir to combine. If not all of the chocolate is melted, cover and cook for an additional 30 minutes on low.
- Using a spoon or cookie scoop, scoop mounds of the clusters onto parchment-lined baking sheets. Allow to sit at room temperature until completely set, 1 to 2 hours. The clusters can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 month. They also freeze very well!

Notes
- Stir the mixture every 30 minutes during slow cooking to prevent burning and ensure even melting.
- Store clusters in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one month or freeze to extend shelf life.
