Crock Pot Monster Munch: Are you looking for a great treat to make with your kiddos for Halloween? Super easy to make and fun to put together. Best of all, you can change it up to include your favorite candy morsels!

When Miss Add and I were trying to think up a fun treat idea Crock Pot Monster Munch was born! We love crock pot candy in this house. Aunt Lou and I discovered how awesome the crock pot was for making candy a little bit back when I made Peanut Cluster Crock Pot Candy, and she made Slow Cooker Bunch of Crunch Candy. There has been no turning back since! We love using our crock pots for candy! No constant stirring. Just throw it in and let the crock do its thing… then stir a couple times and your candy is ready!

And kiddos? They LOVE helping to add the eyeballs at the end 😉

Crock Pot Monster Munch Recipes

Miss Add and I whipped it up with pumpkin spice and butterscotch candy morsels, but you can use chocolate, mint chocolate, white chocolate, peanut butter whatever kind of morsel combination floats your boat!

Note: Scroll to the bottom of this post for a printable version of this recipe.

Ingredients for Crock Pot Monster Munch

2 11 oz bags candy morsels
2 cups broken pretzel sticks
16 oz peanuts
candy eye balls (gummy eyeballs colored candy eyeballs and/or candy eyeballs).
wax paper

How to Make Monster Munch in a Slow Cooker

Pour your candy morsels, peanuts and broken pretzel sticks into your crock pot
Mix together well
Cover and cook on high 30 minutes to an hour stirring ever 30 minutes
Use a tablespoon to spoon out mixture onto wax paper
Place candy eyeballs on top of drops of mixture
Let stand until set up completely.

Crock Pot Monster Munch Notes:

  • I used a variety of eyeball candies from my grocery store but if you can’t find them, Amazon does have some options (gummy eyeballs, colored candy eyeballs and candy eyeballs).
  • My slow cooker only took 30 minutes to heat my morsels to the perfect temperature. But I have had slow cookers take an hour or two. It is best to test this recipe out for the first time when you have time to watch it. It is highly recommended you stir this every 30 minutes to know how close you are to having everything melted.
  • Looks can be deceiving. Make sure you mix things up really well every time you stir… a lot of times it is ready well before it looks like it should be.
  • I used a 4 qt slow cooker but I have used a 6 qt in the past just fine.
  • As with any of our recipes, calorie counts and nutritional information varies greatly depending on which products you choose to use when cooking this dish.
  • All slow cookers cook differently, so cooking times are always a basic guideline and should always be tested first in your own slow cooker and time adjusted as needed.

    What kind of peanuts should I use? Roasted and salted or dry roasted?

      Hi Barb!
      They were 11 oz bags. I used Pumpkin Spice and Butterscotch for these.

      Enjoy!

    I am assuming the peanuts, or other nuts, are added when the pretzels and candy morsels are put in the crock pot. I am just verifying.

    Another option, instead of using pretzel pieces, chow mien noodles could be used too.

      Yes, it all goes in at the beginning except for the candy eyes. Enjoy!!
