Have you ever made candy in a crockpot? I had heard rumors, hearsay, unconfirmed reports, allegations that this sort of thing was possible, but I had never tried. So here’s the recipe that I tried:
- 24oz Dry Roasted Peanuts, lightly salted
- 4oz German’s sweet chocolate
- 12oz bag of Semi Sweet Chocolate Chips
- 2lbs White Almond Bark
In a 4qt crock pot, pour in the peanuts, then German’s sweet chocolate, then chocolate chips, then almond bark. Turn on Low for 3 hours. Don’t touch it during that time. When the 3 hours is up, stir it up really good. This is the point where I looked at it and it was all still looking like it was in its block form and I was thinking SON OF A BITCH this is gonna be hard to stir! It’s not. Trust me. Then simply spoon it into regular cupcake holders or mini depending on what size candies you want. Let them harden and then remove them from the holders. They’ll look sorta Reese’s Cup-ish on the bottom but they taste more like HEAVEN!
Ummm, yummmmmy!
These were such a hit…so GOOD.
@Tina yes, definitely definitely yummy!
@Court yeah I agree–total hit–when I come home from Keno with nada, I think its a hit!

She does things I didn’t know were possible with a crockpot! Even cake!
Just bought all the stuff! Going to make these and give them to the summer school teachers as their end of semester gift. Now I just need some cute boxes or something!
@Haley ohhh I need to check that blog out STAT
@Danielle def tell me what you think. I put a box of some in the freezer and just tried one frozen–was pretty damn good! What about using chinese takeout box style boxes?
We really do think the same…that was EXACTLY what I was thinking of using. Too funny.
@Danielle great minds!
Thanks for posting this — Missy and I were going to ask you for the recipe! The leftovers barely lasted a day at my house.
@Cathy no problem!
Crockpots are magical devices. I’ll have to give this a go!
