If you need a crowd pleasing dessert that practically makes itself, this is the one for you. You just toss a few simple ingredients into your slow cooker and let the machine do all the heavy lifting while you go about your day.

People love these because they are rich, creamy, and have that perfect crunch from the peanuts. My biggest tip is to be patient while the chocolate melts, so resist the urge to turn the heat up too high, as slow and steady is the secret to a silky smooth finish.

Ingredients

  • 24 ounces of semi sweet chocolate chips
  • 12 ounces of milk chocolate chips
  • 16 ounces of roasted salted peanuts
  • 16 ounces of salted cocktail peanuts

Instructions

  1. 1

    Place both types of chocolate chips into the bottom of your slow cooker.

  2. 2

    Pour the roasted salted peanuts and the cocktail peanuts over the top of the chocolate chips.

  3. 3

    Cover the slow cooker with the lid and cook on the low setting for one hour without stirring.

  4. 4

    Remove the lid and stir the mixture thoroughly until the chocolate is smooth and the peanuts are fully coated.

  5. 5

    Turn the slow cooker to the warm setting, or turn it off entirely if you want the mixture to cool slightly before scooping.

  6. 6

    Use a tablespoon to drop mounds of the mixture onto a sheet of wax paper or parchment paper.

  7. 7

    Allow the clusters to sit at room temperature or place them in the refrigerator until they are completely firm.

💡 Tips

Store these candies in an airtight container in a cool place for up to two weeks. If your kitchen gets warm, keep them in the fridge so they stay solid. They also freeze beautifully if you want to save some for later.
