Crock Pot Candy #christmas #chocolate

Oh no! We’re already halfway through the 12 Days of Christmas! Maybe I should just make it 25 days and post every day until Christmas? Then again, maybe not. How would I ever get all of my shopping, wrapping, and baking done between now and Christmas Eve!?

Now, I’m sure many of you have heard of this since it’s become so popular this year. It’s so yummy, however, that I had to give it some love on IBC.

I’m not sure where this recipe originated, but I heard about it from my mom who got it from one of her good friends.

My mom and I share cookie making responsibility for the holidays. She makes half of the recipes and I make half. Then we split our baking bounty. Last year, she made Crock Pot Candy. When she gave it to me, I sort of turned my nose up at it. The joke was on me though because after one bite, I was hooked!

INGREDIENTS

• 2 pounds dry-roasted peanuts
• 2 pounds almond bark* (I used chocolate; however vanilla will also work.)
• 12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 4-ounce German chocolate bar*
• Mini paper baking cups
• Sprinkles, optional

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Put all of the ingredients in a crock pot. Screening and set the temperature to excitable. Let sit for 1 distance; then agitate the smorgasbord. Act to warmth for another distance, rousing every 15-20 transactions for an added distance or until the umber is completely dissolved.
2. Erstwhile everything is thawed, assets out the candy into mini theme baking cups. (I initiate it accommodative to station the cups in a mini muffin pan before stuff them with the candy to provide them reserve their appearance. This isn't required, fitting helpful.) Top with sprinkles and reserve to modify until set.
