I have made this crock pot candy for a couple of years now. It is easy and makes the most delicious peanut clusters. It is an easy candy recipe for your slow cooker! I know you will love this Crockpot candy. It makes a ton perfect for gift giving.
This CrockPot candy is adapted from a recipe found online called Mr. Bud Candy. I see that Tricia Yearwood also has a version of this delicious candy.
During the busy holiday season, the crock pot can make easy snacks and meals. From Crock Pot Chex Mix to perfect Crock Pot Baked Potatoes the crockpot will keep your family well fed. I love these unique crock pot recipes. I am also a huge fan of the Instant Pot. Check out my Instant Pot Recipes.
CrockPot Candy Ingredients
- 1 – 16-ounce container salted dry roasted peanuts
- 1 – 16-ounce container lightly salted dry roasted peanuts (if you can find, otherwise use another container of salted dry roasted peanuts
- 1 package semi sweet chocolate chips
- 1 – 4 ounces German’s Sweet Chocolate Baking Bar (green package), broken into pieces
- 2 pounds good quality white chocolate candy coating (or Almond Bark)
It is really important to purchase high quality melting chocolate. I personally feel Almond Bark has too much wax and I am not a fan of the flavor of Wilton brand candy coating.

How to make crock pot candy

Notes:
Not all crock pots and slow cookers are created equal. Slow cookers can actually cook hotter and burn the candy. Be sure to choose the lowest setting. If your crockpot is below 275 watts (look on the bottom of the crock pot for wattage), you should not have any problem with the candy burning if you follow the ingredients and the directions. Candy should not smell like it is burning.
I hope you love this crockpot candy! For another great treat try these peanut butter corn chip cookies! They are a great no-bake recipe. If you have a friend with allergies but would like to gift them a sweet treat try these homemade peppermint patties. They are dairy free and gluten free!
