Ingredients
Scale
Main Chocolate Ingredients:
- 1 lb (450g) white almond bark or white chocolate chips
- 12 oz (340g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 4 oz (115g) German chocolate bar, broken into pieces
Nut Ingredients:
- 2 cups (250g) salted peanuts
- 1 cup (125g) unsalted peanuts
- 1 cup (120g) pecan halves
Decorative Ingredients:
- ½ cup (120g) red and green holiday sprinkles (for garnish)
Instructions
- Prepare a workspace lined with parchment paper to catch the delectable chocolate clusters.
- Gently layer white almond bark, semi-sweet chocolate chips, and German chocolate pieces inside the crockpot, creating a delightful chocolate foundation.
- Sprinkle salted peanuts, unsalted peanuts, and pecan halves evenly across the chocolate base to ensure a balanced distribution of nutty goodness.
- Configure the crockpot to low temperature, covering with the lid to trap heat and promote smooth melting.
- Allow the chocolate medley to transform for 1.5 to 2 hours, tenderly stirring every half hour to encourage uniform melting and prevent scorching.
- When the chocolate reaches a silky, fully integrated consistency, use a spoon or small cookie scoop to delicately dollop mixture onto prepared parchment sheets.
- While chocolate remains glossy and warm, quickly dust the clusters with festive red and green holiday sprinkles, adding a playful seasonal touch.
- Permit the candy clusters to solidify naturally at room temperature, which typically requires 1-2 hours of patient waiting.
- For accelerated setting, transfer the baking sheets to the refrigerator, helping the treats firm up more rapidly.
- Once completely set, carefully transfer the chocolate clusters to an airtight container, preserving their texture and flavor for immediate enjoyment or gifting.
Notes
- Swap out peanuts for allergy-friendly alternatives like sunflower seeds or pumpkin seeds to create a nut-free version of the treat.
- Add a dash of sea salt on top of each cluster for an elevated sweet-and-salty flavor profile that enhances the chocolate’s richness.
- Experiment with different chocolate varieties like milk chocolate or white chocolate chips to customize the candy’s taste and create unique flavor combinations.
- Use a silicone baking mat instead of parchment paper for easier removal and a smoother bottom surface on each candy cluster.
