Can I make this easy crockpot candy (3 ingredients) without a slow cooker?

Yes. Melt the almond bark and chocolate together in a heavy-bottomed pot over low heat, stirring constantly. Once smooth, add the peanuts and follow the rest of the recipe.

Why didn’t my candy set properly?

You may have used white chocolate chips, which don’t harden well. Or the mixture may have needed more cooling time before scooping.

How long can I store crockpot candy?

At room temperature: up to 2 weeks. In the fridge: up to 3 weeks. In the freezer: up to 3 months.

Can I add other ingredients?

Absolutely. Try marshmallows, crushed pretzels, chopped dried fruit, or even a drizzle of caramel once the candy is scooped.

Is this candy safe to ship?

Yes—once fully set, the candy travels well. Pack in layers with parchment between and keep cool during transit.
