Crock-Pot Chocolate Candy

By mamacasma

"My cousin Donna Paulk is a great cook. She kindly gave us several great recipes for this collection, including chicken soup, macaroni and cheese, beignets, and this candy. I love this kind of recipe: The candies look so pretty and appear really hard to make. People will think you're a genius cook — which is almost embarrassing, considering how easy they are to make. Just layer everything in the cooker and wait!"

Ingredients

• 2 lbs (36 oz) salted dry-roasted peanuts
• 4 oz (4 squares) German's sweet chocolate
• 1 12-oz package semisweet chocolate chips (about 2 cups)
• 2 ½ lbs white almond bark

Preparation

Step 1

1. Put the peanuts in the bottom of a 4-quart slow-cooker. Layer the chocolate over the peanuts, beginning with the sweet chocolate, followed by the chocolate chips, and then the almond bark. Set the temperature on low and cook for 3 hours. Do not stir the mixture.

2. After 3 hours, stir the mixture with a wooden spoon until smooth. Drop the candy into cupcake pan liners, using about 2 tablespoons per liner. Allow the candy to cool completely before removing the cupcake liners.

Makes 30 to 40 pieces.
