The Easy 4-Ingredient Crock-Pot Candy
Ingredients
Candy
- 2 (16-ounce) jars dry-roasted, lightly salted peanuts
- 1 (12-ounce) bag semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 package chocolate bark (12 ounces from a 24-ounce bag)
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
- Festive sprinkles, optional
Instructions
- 1
Add the peanuts to the slow cooker first, then add the chocolate chips. Break apart the chocolate bark into its perforated squares and place on top. Cover and cook on low heat for one hour.

Add the peanut butter to the mixture and give it a thorough stir. Cover and cook for 30 minutes more. Stir until the peanuts are fully coated.

Line four 11 x 17-inch baking sheets with parchment paper. Use a 1 1/2-tablespoon cookie scoop to dole out rounded candy clusters onto the parchment paper about 1/2 inch apart. While the candy is still melty, add the sprinkles on top, if using. Allow the candy to set for about 1 hour.

Transfer the set candy to an airtight container. Separate the layers of candy with parchment or wax paper to keep them from sticking together. Refrigerate for up to 2 weeks or freeze for up to 3 months.
