When the holidays roll around, I love making fun candies to share with everyone I know– neighbors, friends, family, etc. These crockpot chocolate peanut clusters are my absolute favorite easy candy recipe to make. They require just 3 ingredients and are pretty much entirely hands-off. My slow cooker does all the work in making these delicious candies so I have plenty of time to focus on my elaborate holiday meals.
Crockpot Chocolate Peanut Clusters Recipe
These crockpot chocolate peanut clusters are so easy to make in the slow cooker. I just drop in peanuts and chocolate and let them melt and mix together for a few hours. Then, I take a big spoon and scoop them into clusters before drizzling them with some white chocolate, although that part is optional. They’re easy to customize with whatever nuts or crunchy bits you love, and they’re always a big hit every year.

Tips for Success
- Make sure to use the high setting on the crockpot to get your candy to turn out right.
- If you do not like peanuts or cannot have them, you can substitute them with other nuts, such as pecans or cashews.
- You can also use your favorite crunchy cereal or pretzels in place of the nuts.
- Use a spoon to help you drizzle the melted bark over your peanut clusters.
- To make crockpot candy on the stovetop, melt the chocolates over medium heat until melted, then stir in the peanuts. Continue to follow the recipe from step 4 onward.
