I LOVE when I have a recipe that I can get all excited about and can’t wait to share with you guys! THIS Crock Pot Salty Sweet Crunchy Goodness from Gooseberry Patch’s Slow Cooker Christmas Favorites is just that! It reminds me a little bit of my favorite snack when I was a kid…Puppy Chow. No, Momma didn’t feed me dog food or dog snacks growing up, it is just what they called it. And I LOVED it!

Ingredients for Crock Pot Salty Sweet Goodness

• 11.5 oz pkg semi-sweet chocolate chips

How to Make Salty Sweet Goodness in a Crock Pot

1. Put all your ingredients, except for your corn chips and pretzels, in your crock pot and stir
2. Cover and cook on high for 30-90 minutes, stirring occasionally
3. Once your chocolate is completely melted, add in your corn chips and pretzels and gently stir until everything is well coated
4. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and spread mixture evenly with a wooden spoon
5. Put your cookie sheet in the fridge for about an hour, until your Crock Pot Salty Sweet sets up
6. Break it into pieces after it is set and enjoy!

Crock Pot Salty Sweet Goodness Notes:

• This is the PERFECT recipe to do with your kids…even preschoolers. I measured everything out, and Ryder was absolutely thrilled to pour it in for me and mix it all up.
• As soon as I saw this Crock Pot Salty Sweet, I knew I was going to use Sir Hamilton (my Hamilton Beach Programmable Insulated Slow Cooker). Not only is it reliable and easy to clean, with Ryder wanting to watch this recipe like a hawk, I love that the outside is insulated, limiting the parts that he would get burned by if his curious little fingers reached out. Another reason Sir Hamilton was perfect for this is that at the end you have to pick up your insert and pour the mixture out onto a lined cookie sheet. With Sir Hamilton’s light insert, I didn’t have to worry about my bad wrists hurting me when I held it with one hand. Can you tell I love this crock pot?
• The original recipe called for cooking on high for one hour to one and a half hours. I have used Sir Hamilton for this type of recipe before, (I use him all the time when I make up some Slow Cooker Bunch of Crunch Candy), so I knew that I needed to give it a good stir after 10-15 minutes and then it would probably be done around 30 minutes. So, if you do not know how your crock pot does with melting chocolate, keep a close eye on it. It could range anywhere from 30 minutes to 90 minutes. It is no fun when your chocolate seizes up on you…not that I would know from experience or anything. 😉
• 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.
