Crockpot Christmas Crack is an easy, delicious, sweet, and salty treat that’s perfect for holiday gatherings, gift-giving, or snacking. Made with a combination of chocolate, peanut butter, and crunchy peanuts, this candy comes together effortlessly in a slow cooker. The “crack” comes from how irresistibly addictive it is, making it a crowd-pleaser that friends and family won’t be able to resist!

Ingredients

• 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 2 cups milk chocolate chips
• 2 cups white chocolate chips
• 1 cup peanut butter
• 2 cups roasted peanuts (salted or unsalted, depending on preference)
• 1 cup mini pretzels, roughly crushed (optional, for extra crunch)
• Holiday sprinkles for garnish (optional)

Directions

1. Layer Ingredients: In a crockpot, layer the semi-sweet chocolate chips, milk chocolate chips, white chocolate chips, and peanut butter. Sprinkle the roasted peanuts on top.
2. Cook on Low: Cover and cook on low heat for about 1.5–2 hours, stirring occasionally, until the chocolate and peanut butter are fully melted and the mixture is smooth. Be careful not to overcook, as chocolate can burn.
3. Stir and Add Crunch: Once melted, stir the mixture well to combine all ingredients. Fold in the crushed mini pretzels if using.
4. Portion and Garnish: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the parchment, spacing them out slightly. While still warm, top each piece with holiday sprinkles for a festive touch.
5. Set and Serve: Allow the candy to cool and harden completely at room temperature, or place the baking sheet in the refrigerator to speed up the process. Once set, transfer to an airtight container for storage.

Notes

• Storage: Store Christmas Crack in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week or in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
• Variations: Add mini marshmallows, toffee bits, or dried cranberries for different textures and flavors.
• Gift Idea: Package portions in holiday-themed bags or tins for a fun, homemade gift.
• Extra Salty: For a stronger sweet-salty contrast, sprinkle a small pinch of sea salt on top before the candy sets.

This Crockpot Christmas Crack is a festive, addictive treat that’s simple to make and perfect for the holiday season. Enjoy this delicious candy that’s sure to be a hit with everyone!
