How to Make Crockpot White Chocolate Candy
Place the peanuts, coarsely crushed pretzels, almond bark, and white chocolate chips into your crockpot.
Turn the crockpot to low heat and let it all melt. The almond bark and white chocolate will begin to create a creamy base for the crunchy ingredients.
After 1 hour, stir the mixture well. Everything should be melted and nicely combined, with creamy texture and bits of peanuts and pretzels showing through.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Use a cookie scoop to drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the sheet, leaving space between each scoop to avoid sticking.
While the candy is still soft, add heart-shaped sprinkles on top of each scoop.
Refrigerate the candy for about 1 hour, until the white chocolate is firm.
Once set, enjoy your sweet, crunchy, bite-sized candy or package them as gifts!
Hint: These make adorable party favors. Just pop a few into a treat bag and tie with a ribbon!
Substitutions & Variations
- Nut-Free - Use pretzels only or swap peanuts with sunflower seeds.
- Gluten-Free - Use gluten-free pretzels.
- Festive Themes - Swap out sprinkles for different holidays (think red & green for Christmas or pastel for Easter).
- Flavor Add-Ins - Try a few drops of peppermint or almond extract for a twist.
💭Crucial Success Tips
Layer properly - Always place the peanuts and pretzels at the bottom, with the chocolate and almond bark on top. This helps prevent scorching.
Use low heat only - Keep the crockpot on low (not high!) and stir occasionally. High heat can burn the chocolate and ruin the texture.
Prep parchment in advance - Have your baking sheets lined and ready before scooping. Once the mixture is ready, it sets quickly.
Add sprinkles immediately - Decorate each candy right after scooping, while it's still soft. Sprinkles won't stick once it hardens.
FAQ
Yes! You can swap white chocolate for milk, dark, or even butterscotch chips - just keep the almond bark for structure.
Not constantly, but give it a good stir after 45-60 minutes. This ensures even melting and helps blend the ingredients.
Yes, but only if your crockpot is large enough (at least 6 quarts). Otherwise, the mixture may not melt evenly.
