Crock Pot Chocolate Nut Clusters

These Crock Pot chocolate nut clusters are the perfect treat to make when you want something sweet but don’t want a baked cookie or anything with gluten. I’m making them this year for our annual holiday cookie exchange because I know some recipients can’t have traditional cookies

Crock Pot Chocolate Nut Clusters

I’m so happy I learned how to use my Crock Pot to make these candies. Previously, I’d only made dinners in the slow cooker or the occasional breakfast, such as French toast.

Then a friend told me how you can make legit sweets using the slow cooker’s lowest setting and all store-bought ingredients. Talk about the easiest dessert ever — almost as easy as using boxed cake mix to make regular cookies or even a trifle dessert.

Ingredients Overview

Step-by-Step Instructions to Make Crock Pot Chocolate Nut Clusters

Break almond bark into small pieces. Then add it, along with the nuts, chocolate chips and peanut butter chips to the slow cooker. Stir everything together.

Cover and cook on low for 1.5 hours, stirring frequently.

When everything is all melted together and still warm, spoon clusters of the mixture onto parchment paper. Continue until all the mix is gone. You’ll want to spoon out about two tablespoons for each cluster. Let cool.

In a microwave safe bowl in 30 second intervals melt your 4 ounce white chocolate bar. Add the melted white chocolate to a piping bag or a small ziploc bag with the tip cut off. Drizzle the white over the clusters.

Once the clusters are completely cool, serve!

Notes

I used a tin of mixed nuts I got at Costco. However, if you don’t have mixed nuts or want to use them, because maybe there are varieties in there you don’t like, then by all means choose a nut combo you like. Or just do one kind of nut, such as peanuts or cashews.

If you want a richer chocolate flavor, substitute dark chocolate chips for the peanut butter chips or switch the semi-sweet chips out for the dark chocolate ones.

Add sprinkles if you like, such as red and green for Christmas or blue and white for Hanukkah. These are perfect for any holiday so customize them to whichever holiday you like.
