Description

Easter Crock Pot Candy is a simple and delicious treat perfect for holiday celebrations. Combining salted and unsalted peanuts with layers of semi-sweet, milk chocolate chips, and white almond bark, this no-bake dessert is slow-cooked to a smooth, melty consistency. Finished with a touch of vanilla and topped with festive pastel candy-coated chocolates or sprinkles, these clusters are easy to make and sure to delight kids and adults alike.

Ingredients

Scale

Peanuts

  • 16 ounces salted peanuts
  • 16 ounces unsalted peanuts

Chocolates

  • 12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 12 ounces milk chocolate chips
  • 24 ounces white almond bark or white chocolate

Other

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pastel-colored candy-coated chocolates or Easter sprinkles for topping

Instructions

  1. Prepare the peanuts: Add both the salted and unsalted peanuts to the bottom of your slow cooker, creating a solid base layer.
  2. Layer chocolates: Carefully add the semi-sweet chocolate chips, then the milk chocolate chips, and lastly the white almond bark on top of the peanuts. Do not stir; keep the layers distinct.
  3. Cook slowly: Cover the slow cooker and cook on low heat for 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Stir gently every 30 minutes to help the chocolates melt evenly and combine with the peanuts.
  4. Add vanilla: Once the chocolate is fully melted and the mixture is smooth, stir in the teaspoon of vanilla extract for enhanced flavor.
  5. Form clusters: Using a spoon, drop spoonfuls of the candy mixture onto parchment-lined baking sheets.
  6. Top with decorations: Immediately sprinkle pastel-colored candy-coated chocolates or Easter-themed sprinkles on top of each cluster.
  7. Set the candy: Allow the clusters to cool and harden at room temperature or place them in the refrigerator until they are firm and set for easy handling.

Notes

  • Use silicone liners or parchment paper to prevent the candy from sticking to the baking sheets.
  • For variation, you can substitute peanut butter chips or add mini marshmallows into the mixture before cooking.
  • Store finished clusters in an airtight container at room temperature; they stay fresh for up to one week.
