This Crockpot Christmas Crack is an easy and delicious holiday treat combining peanuts and layers of various chocolate chips melted together in a slow cooker. Perfect for adding to a cookie plate or sharing at parties, its creamy texture and festive sprinkles make it a standout sweet snack for the season.

Ingredients

Ingredients

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

Instructions

  1. Prepare the peanuts: Place the salted and unsalted peanuts at the bottom of your slow cooker, creating an even layer.
  2. Layer the chips: Add the chocolate chips layer on top of the peanuts, followed by the finely chopped semi-sweet chocolate bar, then the peanut butter chips, and finally the white melting chips on the very top.
  3. Cook slowly: Cover the slow cooker with its lid and cook on low heat. After one hour, stir the mixture gently to begin combining the melted chips and peanuts.
  4. Continue stirring: Every 30 minutes, stir the mixture until all the chips are melted and the mixture is smooth and fully combined, then turn off the slow cooker.
  5. Set the candy: Spoon the hot, melted mixture onto parchment paper or wax paper in pieces, then immediately sprinkle Christmas sprinkles on top before the candy cools and hardens.
  6. Serve and store: Once hardened, enjoy your Christmas Crack! Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for best results.

Notes

  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature. Freezing is not recommended as thawed candy tends to be messy.
  • Feel free to vary the types of chips used but maintain the total volume for consistency.
  • White chocolate wafers melt the fastest, so layering them on top ensures even melting.
  • If using almond bark instead of white wafers, chop it and place near the bottom to help with melting consistency.
  • Semi-sweet chips help balance the overall sweetness, complementing the very sweet peanut butter and white chocolate layers.
