Everyone loves chocolate and peanuts! The two are combined for an easy yet delectable holiday treat in this recipe for Slow Cooker Chocolate Peanut Clusters. I love making these candies as a thoughtful, yet economical holiday gift.
- Combine peanuts in a 5-qt. slow cooker.
- Layer with the remaining ingredients. (do not stir)
- Cover and Cook on Low for 2 hours or until chips are melted.
- Stir to combine.
- Using a cookie scoop, drop chocolate in bite sizes on wax paper.
- Let stand until set.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
NOTE: I would make them a little smaller than what are pictured, they were a bit big!
Happy Crocking!

As luck would have it I guess candy corn is a seasonal thing since ai dont normally eat it ai never paid attention, well I found in the bulk section at Winco red and green candyu corn. When I melted it it became chocolate so it seemed to taste the same guess I will know when teh final project is finished and yes I agree about the messy part of dipping these thing so the bark seems great getting ready to go finish it!
oops this was supposed to be for the butterfinger bark comment! What a dodo head!
Would it be possible to cut back on some of the bags of chips? Thanks
Tricia if you cut back on some of the chips? It would be better to cut back on all the ingredients, by the same. For instance, if you cut a recipe in half you would divide all the ingredients in half. Hope this helps, and Happy Crocking!
I have this going in my slow cooker right now. Very excited to see how it turns out!
This was HORRIBLE! All I ended up with was burnt peanuts & chocolate, a HUGE mess, and a waste of $20. I recommend pulling this off your website or adding an update on what you are doing that kept all that from happening.
So sorry yours did not turn out, I have made this several times, and have not had any issues. You need to make sure you are crocking this on Low, not High, and only for 2 – 2 1/2 hours. Also if your slow cooker crock hot, you may need to decrease the time it is in the slow cooker, as the recipes states or just until the chocolate is melted. They are delicious!
I also tried this today. A very expensive flop! My less than 6 month old crock pot burnt the peanuts along one side. The choc. in the center did not melt. It was not cooked longer than suggested and was done on low. Maybe the problem was with the crock pot, Maybe it does not work with the oval ones, only the tall round style! Too expensive to try again
So sorry Bev, as you see others are having success. I would check with the manufacturer, as it sounds like from what you posted your slow cooker is crocking too hot, and with it on one side, it also sounds like a slow cooker problem. The manufacturer may have a suggestion, or a solution for you. Hope this helps, and Happy Crocking!
Considering it is less than 6 months old and CROCK POT Brand, yes they may be at fault but it cost me over $30 to make such a mess. I also was not the only one with a problem making these
AWESOME. Everybody LOVED them. Will be making them for Christmas Gifts and throughout the year. THANK U SOOOOOOOOO MUCH.
Great gifts, and you are right Everybody Loves them! 🙂 Happy Crocking!
Turned out horrible!!!! very expensive flop! Im now having to search for something that might help save some of it. Chocolate and peanuts burned along the side!!
Ashley, I’m sorry your chocolate burnt! On the directions you need to just crock until the chocolate has melted, every slow cooker crocks differently, so sometimes it gets done faster with some slow cookers. This one you need to watch closer. 🙁
I saved mine by putting batches into a double broiler and adding a little coconut oil. I left the burnt stuff in the crock!
Just made these and yummmm. I used a 4qt round crock that is about 20 years old. Worked great. Nothing burned. Thanks for the recipe these will be perfect to add on with our yearly fudge and toffee and I can’t believe how easy they are.
I have made candy like this in a 3 quart crock pot and it is perfect. Some may be putting this mixture in a large crockpot. Too much surface area would be exposed to the heat and it may burn. The chocolate only needs to melt. If you are using a large crockpot, you might need to decrease the time.
Just finished making it and it appears to have come out great but so much of it. I wish I would have cut into half. Plan on freezing some for later.
I make these all the time and always success. Thankfully everybody loves them and there is enough for sharing!.
Can sprinkles be put on these? Will the chocolate harden like when using almond bark or candy melts?
