Do I need to refrigerate this candy?

No refrigeration is needed unless your kitchen is especially warm. These candies are designed to set and hold at room temperature thanks to the almond bark.

My chocolate separated. What happened?

If the chocolate overheated or cooked unevenly, it may separate or become greasy. Stir gently after 1 hour and avoid the high setting entirely.

Can I cut the recipe in half?

Absolutely. Halve every ingredient and use a 2–3 quart slow cooker for best results. Cooking time will likely be shorter, so check after 45 minutes.

How long does slow cooker chocolate candy stay fresh?

When stored in a cool, dry place in an airtight container, the candy stays fresh for up to 10 days. You can also freeze it for longer storage.

Can I use different nuts in this slow cooker chocolate candy?

Yes. Pecans, almonds, and cashews all work beautifully. Just ensure they’re roasted and salted. Raw nuts may taste bland and won’t hold up to the heat as well.

Ingredients

2 pounds salted dry-roasted peanuts
4 ounces German’s sweet chocolate (about 4 squares)
12 ounces semisweet chocolate chips (about 2 cups)
2 ½ pounds white almond bark

Instructions

Place the peanuts in the bottom of a 4-quart slow cooker.
Layer the chocolates on top of the peanuts in this order: German’s sweet chocolate, semisweet chocolate chips, then white almond bark.
Set the slow cooker to LOW and cook for 3 hours without stirring.
After 3 hours, stir the mixture until smooth using a wooden spoon.
Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the mixture into cupcake liners or onto parchment paper-lined baking sheets.
Let the candy cool completely before removing the liners or transferring to storage.

Notes

Stir every 15–30 minutes if your slow cooker runs hot to prevent burning.
Do not use the high setting as it may cause the chocolate to scorch.
German’s sweet chocolate can be swapped with milk chocolate for a sweeter taste.
Use cupcake liners for easy cleanup and portion control.
