This Crockpot Christmas Crack is a delicious and easy-to-make treat, perfect for adding to your holiday cookie plate or taking to a festive party. Combining layers of peanuts, peanut butter chips, white melting chips, and chocolate, all melted together in a slow cooker and topped with Christmas sprinkles, it results in a sweet, crunchy, and festive candy everyone will love.

Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 2 pounds peanuts (1 pound salted, 1 pound unsalted)
  • 20 oz peanut butter chips
  • 20 oz white melting chips (preferably Ghirardelli or high-quality white chips)
  • 12 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 4 oz semi-sweet chocolate baking bar (optional, for smoother texture)
  • Christmas sprinkles, for topping

Instructions

  1. Prepare peanuts: Place the 2 pounds of peanuts evenly on the bottom of your slow cooker, creating the first layer of the candy.
  2. Layer the chips: Carefully layer the chocolate chips, chopped semi-sweet baking chocolate (if using), peanut butter chips, then white melting chips on top of the peanuts. The order is important for even melting.
  3. Cook and stir: Cover the slow cooker with the lid and cook on low heat. After 1 hour, stir the mixture thoroughly. Continue to stir every 30 minutes until all the chips and chocolate have melted and combined into a smooth mixture.
  4. Cool and top: Once fully melted and mixed, turn off the slow cooker. Spoon the hot mixture onto parchment or wax paper lined surface. Immediately sprinkle Christmas sprinkles on top before the candy cools and hardens.
  5. Serve and store: Allow the candy to cool completely and harden before serving. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for best freshness.

Notes

  • Store this candy in an airtight container at room temperature; freezing is not recommended as thawing can cause messiness.
  • Feel free to customize the mixture of chips, but maintain the total volume for best results.
  • White chocolate melts the fastest, so it is layered on top to ensure even melting.
  • If using almond bark instead of melting wafers, chop it and layer it closer to the bottom.
  • Semi-sweet chips balance the sweetness of peanut butter chips and white chocolate, providing a great flavor contrast.
