Ingredients
Ingredients
- 2 pounds peanuts (1 pound salted and 1 pound unsalted preferred)
- 20 oz peanut butter chips
- 20 oz white melting chips (preferably Ghirardelli or high-quality white chocolate, avoid low-quality chips)
- 12 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 4 oz semi-sweet chocolate baking bar (optional but recommended for smoother texture)
- Christmas sprinkles for topping
Instructions
- Prepare the slow cooker base: Place the 2 pounds of peanuts evenly on the bottom of the slow cooker to form the base layer.
- Layer the chips and chocolate: Add the chocolate chips next, followed by the chopped semi-sweet chocolate baking bar (if using), then peanut butter chips, and finally the white melting chips on top. This layering order helps ensure even melting.
- Cook and stir: Cover with the lid and cook on low heat. After 1 hour, stir the mixture carefully to start combining the melted layers. Continue stirring every 30 minutes until the chips are fully melted and the mixture is smooth.
- Cool and add sprinkles: Turn off the slow cooker once fully melted and smooth. Spoon the hot mixture onto parchment or wax paper and immediately sprinkle with Christmas sprinkles before the candy sets.
- Serve and enjoy: Allow the candy to cool and harden, then break or cut into pieces. Enjoy your festive Crockpot Christmas Crack!
Notes
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for best texture and freshness.
- Freezing is not recommended as thawed candy can become messy.
- You can customize the chip mixture as long as total volume remains the same.
- The white chocolate wafers melt the quickest, so placing them on top helps everything melt evenly.
- If using almond bark instead of melting wafers, chop and place them lower in the layering as melting times differ.
- Semi-sweet chips balance the sweetness of the peanut butter and white chocolate, giving a nice chocolate flavor.
