Ingredients
- 270 g 1 bag peanut butter chips
- 340 g 12oz white Bakers chocolate
- 1 cup peanuts salted
- 1 cup peanut butter smooth or chunky
- 3 oz chocolate melting wafers
Instructions
- Add the peanut butter chips, white Bakers chocolate, peanut butter, and peanuts to the crockpot.
- Set the crockpot to low and cook for 1 hour. Stir well at the 30-minute mark to keep the mixture melting smoothly and prevent any hot spots.
- Once the chocolate mixture is completely melted, stir again to fully coat the peanuts and create a consistent candy mixture.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Use a cookie scoop or tablespoon to drop the warm mixture onto the sheet, creating evenly sized clusters. Leave room between them so they don’t spread into each other.
- Place the chocolate melting wafers in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 15-second increments, stirring between each, until fully melted and smooth.
- Drizzle the melted chocolate over the clusters using a spoon or small piping bag.
- Transfer the baking sheet to the refrigerator and allow the clusters to cool and harden completely for about an hour.
- They need to be fully set before eating or storing so they keep their shape and texture.
Notes
- For cleaner drizzles, spoon the melted chocolate into a zip-top bag and snip a tiny corner.
- Use smooth peanut butter for a silkier texture or chunky for extra crunch.
- Make sure the clusters are completely hardened before storing so they don’t stick together.
- If your crockpot tends to run hot, keep the lid slightly ajar to prevent scorching.
- Add festive sprinkles on top before chilling for a fun holiday touch.
