How to make Crock Pot Nut Clusters

Turn slow cooker on high and add all the ingredients into the slow cooker.
Cook on high for 45 minutes (don’t peek or stir) during that time.
When 45 minutes is up, take off lid and stir everything together. Place lid back on, reduce heat to low, and let cook for 1 hour.
When 1 hour is up, take off lid and stir everything together. Keep stirring until all the chocolate is melted.
Spoon mixture into mini muffin liners (to make a little nut cup) or on a baking sheet lined with wax paper (to make them into cluster shapes).
Let chocolate set up for about 30 minutes or until hardened.

Storing and Other Tips

Store in an airtight container for up to 5-7 days or place on trays for holiday gifts.

We used lightly salted peanuts for this recipe. You can also add other mixins like dried fruit, crushed peppermint candies or even crushed pretzels.

We've been doing these for years. We don't use the muffin liners, but just dump little spoonfuls on wax paper. No raisins, though--we're not dried fruit lovers around here.

Yes, just divide it in half or even thirds and it should be fine. May not need to melt it in the slow cooker as long, so watch it closely!! :)
