Crockpot Peanut Clusters

By littlefish

Ingredients

• 3 (16-ounce) jars lightly salted roasted peanuts (lightly salted is important!)
• 2 (4-ounce) boxes German Baker's Chocolate
• 1 (8-ounce) box Unsweetened Baker's Chocolate (there are 2 in the picture. that was wrong.)
• 1 (24-ounce) bag semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1 tsp vanilla (not pictured because I didn't know I wanted/needed it until after the photo)

Preparation

Step 1

Use a large crockpot. This makes about 150 peanut clusters. Spray the inside of your crock with cooking spray, and place the unwrapped baking chocolate, and bars of German chocolate in the bottom. Add all the peanuts. Pour in the chocolate chips, and add vanilla. Cover and cook on low for 3 hours, or high for about 1.5. While the chocolate is melting, lay out a bunch of parchment paper on your counter top or kitchen table. When time has elapsed, stir well, and remove from heat. Use a small ice-cream scoop to plop out bite-sized piles onto the parchment paper.

Let cool before eating---this takes a long time---hours. It'd be best to leave them overnight so you don't pick at them. Unless you have much more will power than I do, then I suppose it would be okay. But I sort of hate you.

Package up and give away as soon as possible
