How To Make The Peanut Clusters Recipe

5. Allow the candy to cool and harden for at least one to two hours at room temperature or in the refrigerator.

Step-By-Step Instructions

Step-By-Step Instructions

Start by adding the semi-sweet chocolate chips into a greased slow cooker.

Next, add the white chocolate chips to the slow cooker.

Add the peanuts to the slow cooker.

For this recipe, I added salted dry roasted peanuts because I like salty peanuts along with sweet chocolate.

But you can add unsalted peanuts if you’d like to.

Finally, add the German sweet chocolate to the slow cooker.

I broke up the pieces and added it to the cooker.

Stir the ingredients to combine and place the lid on top.

Cook on low for 45 minutes to one hour on low heat. BE SURE TO STIR OFTEN! I am not yelling at you but making sure that you stir about every ten minutes to keep the chocolate from burning.

For the German chocolate bar, I used Baker’s German’s Sweet Chocolate.

Remove the lid and stir about every ten minutes to keep the chocolate from burning. I used a wooden spoon to stir.

Once the chocolate is completely melted, take a spoon or medium cookie scoop and place a spoonful of peanut clusters on parchment paper or wax paper.

I put the parchment paper on top of a baking sheet so I could pop it into the refrigerator to speed up the set-up time.

If you are leaving them on the counter to set up, give them about two hours. If you put them in the refrigerator, they will take about one hour to set up and harden.

Optional Chip Flavors

You can add or remove different chocolate chip flavors. Here are a few more choices.

• White almond bark
• Peanut butter chips
• Milk chocolate chips
• Butterscotch chips
• Dark chocolate chips
• Butterscotch chips

How To Store The Slow Cooker Chocolate Peanut Clusters

The peanut clusters can be kept at room temperature in a cool place or in the refrigerator. Keep them in an airtight container or a sealed bag.

Can The Slow Cooker Candy Be Frozen?
