How to Make Crock Pot Christmas Crack

Spray the inside of a crock pot with non-stick spray.

Put 24 oz vanilla almond bark, 12 oz chocolate almond bark, 12 oz milk chocolate chips, 2/3 cup toffee bits, 1/2 cup peanut butter, and 5 cups salted dry roasted peanuts into the crock pot and turn on high.

Let sit until you notice the chocolate starting to melt, about 20 minutes. Then stir. Return to the crock pot every 20 minutes or so and stir.

When it’s just about completely melted, turn the heat to low and stir. Return in 5 minutes and stir again.

Once completely smooth and melted, use a 1-inch scooper and spoon onto parchment paper until the mixture is used up.

Sprinkle Christmas sprinkles on top of each cluster before the chocolate hardens.

Let sit until chocolate is set.

Keep an Eye on the Mixture – You want the chocolate to melt gently to prevent scorching or grainy texture.

Stir Frequently – So everything melts at the same rate.

Line the Counter with Parchment Paper – Do this before scooping the mixture into clusters so you are ready.

Use a 1 1/2 tbsp Size Cookie Scoop – This keeps the clusters all the same size and the mixture easy to manage.

Add Sprinkles Soon After Scooping – I like to scoop several onto the parchment paper, then sprinkle with sprinkles while the chocolate is wet and before the clusters harden.
