Ingredients
Scale
Peanuts
- 2 pounds peanuts (preferably 1 pound salted and 1 pound unsalted)
Chips and Chocolates
- 20 oz peanut butter chips
- 20 oz white melting chips (such as Ghirardelli or high-quality white chips)
- 12 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 4 oz semi-sweet chocolate baking bar (optional, for smoother texture)
Toppings
- Christmas sprinkles
Instructions
- Prepare the peanuts: Place the peanuts evenly at the bottom of the slow cooker to form the base layer.
- Layer the chips: Carefully layer the chocolate chips, semi-sweet chocolate baking bar pieces (if using), peanut butter chips, and then the white melting chips over the peanuts.
- Slow cook and stir: Place the lid on the crockpot and cook on low heat. After one hour, stir the mixture thoroughly to combine the melting chips and nuts. Continue stirring every 30 minutes until the mixture is fully melted and smooth.
- Cool and sprinkle: Once melted together, turn off the crockpot. Spoon the hot mixture onto parchment or wax paper in desired portions. Immediately top with Christmas sprinkles before the mixture cools and hardens.
- Serve and enjoy: Allow the candy to cool completely so it sets properly, then enjoy your festive Crockpot Christmas Crack!
Notes
- Use high-quality white melting chips to avoid a grainy texture.
- Stirring regularly is crucial to ensure even melting and smooth texture.
- Sprinkle toppings immediately to ensure they stick before cooling.
- You can adjust the type of chocolate chips based on preference, but semi-sweet is recommended for balance.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
