Crockpot Christmas Crack is a super simple treat to make that the whole family will enjoy! Salty peanuts are smothered in peanut butter and creamy chocolate for a sweet snack that is delicious, festive and easy to make!
Pour the unsalted and unsalted peanuts in a layer on the bottom of the crockpot.
Pour the peanut butter chips over the peanuts, then add the white chocolate bark and chocolate bark on top.
Set the lid on the crockpot and set the timer to low for 1 hour.
After an hour, remove the lid and stir to combine.
Place the lid back on the crockpot and cook for another 30 minutes or until the chocolate completely melts.
Spoon the mixture onto a parchment paper lined baking sheet and sprinkle with flaky sea salt and/or Christmas sprinkles if desired.
Allow the candy to cool and harden for at least one hour. Serve and enjoy!
Notes
Recipe Copyright The Domestic Spoon. For educational or personal use only.
Peanuts: I use both salted and unsalted. You could substitute cashews instead of peanuts if you prefer.
Peanut Butter Chips: You could use butterscotch chips if you are not a fan of peanut butter and chocolate. You could also use a scoop of peanut butter if you do not have Peanut Butter Chips.
White Chocolate Bark: I find that bark melts the best, but you could use white chocolate chips or candy melts instead.
Chocolate Bark: I prefer to use semi-sweet chocolate as it melts well with the white chocolate but you could also use milk chocolate if you want to be even creamier.
Toppings: Any toppings are optional, but I love to sprinkle my final product with flaky sea salt, mini M&Ms or Christmas colored sprinkles.
Your crockpot may run warm or cool, so keep an eye on your mixture to ensure the candy melts but does not burn. After the first hour you may want to check your crockpot every 15 minutes or so.
If you want to add toppings like sprinkles or flaky salt, do it quickly before the mixture cools and solidifies.
Be sure and give your candy time to cool. It will become more solid as it cools. If it’s not solid when you try to pick it up, you didn’t wait long enough! You can place the baking sheet in the refrigerator or freezer to speed up the process.
