Crockpot Christmas Crack: The Perfect Holiday Treat

Instructions

Step 1: Layer Ingredients in the Crockpot

Set your slow cooker to low heat.
Start by spreading a layer of salted and unsalted peanuts at the bottom of the crockpot.
Add the peanut butter chips and semi-sweet chocolate chips on top of the peanuts.
Finally, layer the chunks of white almond bark or white chocolate over the top.

Step 2: Cook and Stir

Cover the crockpot and let the mixture cook on low for 2 hours. Avoid stirring during this time to allow the chocolate and almond bark to melt evenly.
After 2 hours, remove the lid and stir the ingredients until fully combined. The mixture should be smooth and creamy.

Step 3: Portion the Mixture

Line baking sheets with parchment paper or wax paper.
Use a spoon or small cookie scoop to drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared sheets.
Work quickly, as the mixture will begin to set as it cools.

Step 4: Add Festive Toppings

While the mixture is still soft, sprinkle your chosen toppings—holiday sprinkles, M&Ms, or crushed candy canes—over each cluster.
Allow the clusters to cool completely at room temperature or place them in the refrigerator for faster setting.

Tips for the Perfect Christmas Crack

Use High-Quality Chocolate: The better the chocolate, the more delicious the final product will be.
Customize Your Toppings: Add nuts, mini marshmallows, or dried cranberries for a unique twist.
Storage: Store the Christmas Crack in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
