Crockpot Christmas Crack: The Sweet Treat That Steals the Holiday Spotlight 🎄✨

Instructions

1. Layer the ingredients

   • In a large crockpot, layer the ingredients in this order:

     1. Peanuts

     2. Chocolate chips (both kinds)

     3. Peanut butter chips

     4. Almond bark or vanilla candy coating (broken into chunks)

2. Cook low and slow

   • Cover with the lid and cook on LOW for 2 hours.

   • After 2 hours, stir the mixture thoroughly.

   • Continue cooking for another 30 minutes if needed, until everything is melted and smooth.

3. Shape the clusters

   • Line baking sheets or your countertop with parchment or wax paper.

   • Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop small clusters of the candy mixture onto the paper.

4. Cool & set

   • Allow the clusters to cool completely at room temperature, or speed up the process by placing them in the refrigerator.

5. Serve or gift

   • Once set, transfer clusters to an airtight container.

   • Store at room temperature for up to 2 weeks—or in the fridge for longer freshness.

🎄 Tips & Variations

• Festive flair: Top clusters with holiday sprinkles, crushed candy canes, or a drizzle of red and green candy melts.

• Nut-free option: Use pretzels or Rice Krispies instead of peanuts for a crunchy twist.

• Flavor boost: Stir in a teaspoon of vanilla extract or a dash of sea salt before portioning.

• Gift-ready: Package clusters in mason jars or tins lined with parchment for a charming homemade present.
