Serves: 24 servings
Ingredients
- 1 lb white chocolate chips
- 1 cup peanuts
- 1 cup pretzels, broken
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
- 1 cup raisins
Instructions
- Prepare your slow cooker by lightly greasing the interior with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Pour the entire pound of white chocolate chips into the bottom of the crock pot, spreading them evenly across the surface.
- Set the crock pot to low heat and allow the white chocolate to melt slowly, which typically takes about 30-45 minutes. Avoid stirring during the initial melting process.
- Once the chocolate is completely melted and smooth, gently fold in the peanuts, broken pretzels, mini marshmallows, and raisins. Stir carefully to ensure even distribution of ingredients.
- Continue cooking on low heat for an additional 30-45 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent burning and ensure even coating of ingredients.
- Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prepare for cooling.
- Once ingredients are well-combined and coated, turn off the crock pot and use a spoon to drop small clusters onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Allow the candy to cool and set at room temperature for approximately 1 hour, or place in the refrigerator for faster setting (about 30 minutes).
- Once completely cooled and hardened, break or cut the candy into bite-sized pieces.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
Tips
- Use a non-stick cooking spray to ensure easy cleanup and prevent sticking.
- Resist the urge to stir the chocolate during the initial melting phase to maintain a smooth texture.
- Keep the crock pot on low heat to prevent burning or scorching the chocolate.
- For a more uniform coating, stir ingredients gently and consistently.
- Use parchment paper or a silicone mat for easy candy removal and cleanup.
- Allow the candy to cool completely before breaking into pieces to ensure proper setting.
- Experiment with different mix-ins like dried cranberries, chopped nuts, or dark chocolate chips for unique variations.
- Store in an airtight container to maintain freshness and prevent moisture absorption.
- For a quicker setting time, use the refrigerator, but be careful not to over-chill.
- This recipe is perfect for holiday gifts, potlucks, or a sweet weekend treat!
