CROCK POT CHOCOLATE PEANUT CLUSTERS

CROCK POT CHOCOLATE PEANUT CLUSTERS

Dark chocolate peanut clusters are a simple slow cooker recipe that combines three chocolates with crunchy peanuts for an irresistible homemade candy.

  • Total Time: 16 minute
  • Yield: 48-60 clusters 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 pounds white melting chocolate (white almond bark or candy coating)
  • 4 ounces sweet baking chocolate (such as German Baker's chocolate)
  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 16 ounces salted dry roasted peanuts
  • 8 ounces unsalted dry roasted peanuts
  • 8 ounces cocktail peanuts
  • Additional sea salt for sprinkling (optional)

Instructions

  • Prepare Your Workspace: Line three large baking sheets or your counter space with parchment paper for setting the clusters.
  • Layer the Chocolate: Add all three types of chocolate to your slow cooker, starting with the white melting chocolate, then the sweet baking chocolate, and finally the semi-sweet chips.
  • Begin Melting: Cover the slow cooker and set it to low heat. Let the chocolate melt for 1-2 hours, checking occasionally.
  • Check Consistency: Once the chocolate appears mostly melted, stir gently until completely smooth and well combined.
  • Add Peanuts: Fold in all three varieties of peanuts, ensuring each nut is well coated with the chocolate mixture.
  • Form Clusters: Switch the slow cooker to warm setting. Using a cookie scoop or spoon, drop rounded portions onto the prepared parchment paper.
  • Set and Store: Allow the clusters to set completely at room temperature for 1-2 hours before packaging.
