Notes

  • We love the flavor the peanut butter chips add to the chocolate, but you can omit them if needed. 
  • You can use white/vanilla candy melts in place of the white almond bark (vanilla-flavored candy coating). 
  • A cookie scoop works well to make evenly proportioned clusters, but you can also use a large spoon. 
  • Depending on how big your candy clusters are, you'll get 70-90 pieces.
  • If you're topping your clusters with holiday sprinkles, don't scoop more than 8 - 10 pieces before going back and adding the sprinkles. Adding them while the clusters are still soft is essential, or the sprinkles won't stick.
To Store - if your house doesn’t get too hot, store your Christmas Crock Pot Candy in an airtight container at room temperature for about two weeks. Keeping them in the refrigerator, they will last longer (about three weeks).
