    It has been a long time since I made any chocolate candy. What better way to make a comeback than with an all-time classic, Chocolate Peanut Clusters!

    You already know what a crockpot freak I am whether it is sloowww cooking Slow Cooker Lentil Vegetable Soup or the very quick Slow Cooker Evaporated Milk.

    Whatever it is, I am going to try to make it work. Sterling!

    Chocolate candy is glistening in a stack of four candies with text above.

    These little beauties freeze perfectly - thank goodness because this is a large batch and there are only two of us.

    It will be a wonderful and easy addition to your candy and cookie table any time of the year but especially nice over the holidays coming up.

    Wrap each cluster in clear or colorful cellophane and you even have treats for Halloween.

    Me? I am going to stack them high on a pretty plate for the buffet dessert table. At ALL parties.

    I should have said this way at the top. Two ingredients!

    Ingredients

    • Chocolate adds a more sweetened chocolate flavor.
    • Roasted and salted peanuts

    Instructions

    • Lay parchment paper on a baking sheet.
    • If your chocolate is in large chunks, chop into smaller pieces. You really can choose your favorite type of chocolate. Some like a high percentage of cocoa. Some like semi-sweet.
    • Place the chocolate in the slow cooker.
    • Cook on high for 45 minutes stirring every 15 minutes.
    • Turn to low and cook another 15 minutes.
    • Turn off the slow cooker and add the peanuts.
    • Drop large dollops onto the parchment paper and let harden.
    • You can sure do this in a saucepan it is just that you don't have to worry about burning your chocolate this way. It is so simple.

    Chocolate Clusters keep in an airtight container for about 4 months. I know they won't last that long but it's handy information.

    If you keep them out and not in the refrigerator keep them out of the light at medium temperatures below 70 degrees. If not you may very likely get very soft candies.

    You may also freeze them but put in the fridge for 24 hours first and then move to the freezer.

    When you want to eat them - put in the refrigerator for 24 hours and then you can set them out. Eat at room temperature.

    • Raw Date Chocolate Balls have some really delicious ingredients and you can be injoying them in minutes. Even before you get them rolled into balls.
    • Protein Peanut Butter Balls are also no-bake treats and they are packed with the best ingredients.

      I make these with almonds, hazelnuts and other add-ins for holiday gifting! They are so good. Love how you used the slow cooker to temper the chocolate.

      I've never used my slow cooker to make a dessert recipe! This is such a good idea! I'll have to remember this over the holidays!

    For years I dabbled in cooking vegan food, but since I became a mom it has become more important for me than ever. What I’m after is a great collection of healthy and not time-consuming vegan recipes that make the whole family look forward to meals together.
