Nope.

You literally just pop all the ingredients in a slow cooker, let her cook.

Then stir a couple times and spoon out to cool.

Making Peanut Cluster Crock Pot Candy in a Slow Cooker

The results are simply fantastic. While it might *look* like just chocolate and peanuts, this recipe for Peanut Cluster Crock Pot Candy (found in Gooseberry Patch’s Homemade Christmas) calls for three different kinds of chocolate to give it a bit more depth.

Great Method of Melting Chocolate

Aunt Lou and I grew up in a candy making house. Mom would make all kinds of candies year round and many, many of those candies involved melting chocolate to just the right temperature and keeping it there long enough to work with it.  Most of the time we used the microwave with great success, but on occasion we would burn the chocolate or over cook it and it would seize up… and I don’t know too many kitchen crimes worse than ruining perfectly good chocolate.

I don’t know why on earth it never occurred to us to use a slow cooker to keep our chocolate consistently melted to perfection while we worked with it. But this year both Aunt Lou and I have made candy with our crock pots and had the same reaction… What on earth have we been missing all this time?!? You HAVE to check out her Bunch of Crunch Candy… it has a yummy peanut butter fudge-like taste to it.

Now the recipe calls for you to cook your candy on low for 3 hours, but I found that mine was perfect and ready at about 90 minutes, so keep an eye on it… this is NOT a fix it and forget it kind of recipe. You could burn the chocolate if you let it cook too long, but we don’t need to talk about that, because yours is going to turn out just fine ;).
