Ingredients
Chocolate Mixture
- 1 package chocolate almond bark
- 2 cups white chocolate chips
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1 tbsp butter
Nuts and Toppings
- 3 cups mixed nuts (peanuts and almonds)
- Sprinkles (for topping)
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: Place the chocolate almond bark, white chocolate chips, chocolate chips, butter, and mixed nuts into the crockpot. Give the mixture a gentle stir to combine the ingredients evenly.
- Cook on Low: Cover the crockpot with its lid and cook the mixture on low heat for 1 hour. After this time, open the lid and stir the mixture to see if the chocolates have melted completely.
- Continue Cooking if Needed: If the chocolate chunks are not fully melted, cover and cook for an additional 30 minutes on low, stirring occasionally until everything is smooth and melted.
- Form Candy Drops: Once the chocolate is fully melted and the nuts are well-coated, drop large spoonfuls of the mixture onto a parchment-lined surface or a silicone baking mat, creating candy clusters.
- Add Sprinkles: Sprinkle colorful sprinkles over each candy cluster while the chocolate is still soft to add a festive touch.
- Let Harden: Allow the candy to sit at room temperature for about 1 hour, giving it time to harden and set properly.
- Serve and Enjoy: Once hardened, serve the crockpot candy as a sweet snack or package it as a thoughtful homemade gift. Don’t forget to leave a rating and comment about your experience with this recipe to help others enjoy it too!
Notes
- You can substitute the nuts with your favorite varieties, such as cashews or walnuts.
- Ensure the crockpot is on low to prevent burning the chocolate.
- Use parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking.
- Store leftover candy in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
- For a dairy-free version, use vegan chocolate and butter alternatives.
