Ingredients

  • Vanilla Almond Bark - I love to use this because its got a very mild flavor and also helps in melting the chocolate
  • Dark Chocolate - I use Unsweetened Hershey's Dark Chocolate brick. You can use Ghirardelli Dark Chocolate as well or just use Dark Chocolate Chips
  • Peanuts - I use regular salted peanuts. You can use any kind of Peanuts you have. Also if you're allergic to it skip it.
  • Cashew Nuts - I use broken Cashew Nuts. You can use whole as well or replace with Pecan or Walnuts or Macadamia or Hazelnuts.

See recipe card for quantities. Also, watch the video for a quick visual.

How to make Crockpot Christmas Candy

STEP 1: DUMP ALL THE INGREDIENTS

  • Dump all the ingredients - Vanilla Almond Bark, Dark Chocolate, Peanuts and Cashew Nuts in the crockpot.
  • Cover with the lid and cook on low for 3 hours or on high for 1 hour
  • Stir after every 15-20 minutes to avoid anything getting stuck to the bottom of the pot.

STEP 2: FREEZE

  • After it gets cooked, give it all a good stir to combine everything well
making Crockpot Christmas Candy
  • Spoon a tablespoon of the chocolate peanut mixture in a parchment paper lined dish. You can use a cookie scooper or melon scooper as well for this step or just use two spoons
  • Top with some Sprinkles and freeze these for about 5 - 10 minutes
  • Freezing them makes sure that they never lose their shape
  • Serve or store for future

Remember that you need to stir this Chocolate and Almond Bark mixture every often. This has a tendency to getting stuck at the bottom of the pot and burning. So be careful and stir every often.

Hint: You can add just a tablespoon or two of Coconut Oil. This will help chocolate melt evenly and it would NEVER BURN, even if you forget stirring for a few minutes.

If the room temperature is pretty cold, you will see the candies are freezing just when you are spooning them. You donot even have to freeze this.

Well, I had to because here its not that cold but freezing these candies for just about 5 minutes, helps them retain their shape.

Cooking Variations

This is such a fun recipe to make and you can do so many fun variations to this recipe.

Mexican Chocolate - Use Mexican Chocolate instead of Regular Dark Chocolate. Its got more intense flavours and is also made with a kick, using Cinnamon and Mexican Chili Powder, which makes them taste so awesome.

Milk Chocolate - You can easily replace Dark Chocolate with Milk Chocolate for a sweet tasting Candy.

Can I cook this in the stovetop?

Yes of course! Just dump all the ingredients in a large pot and cook over medium low heat. Keep stirring at regular intervals to avoid chocolate from getting burnt. Once the chocolate melts, toss to combine, spoon the mixture, freeze and serve.

Storage

You can store these Crock pot Christmas Candy in an air tight container and refrigerate for upto 2-3 weeks. I do not recommend freezing them as they become rock hard and also lose their shape once thawed.
