What Makes This Recipe So Good
This treat combines rich chocolate with crunchy peanuts for a perfect balance of sweet and salty. Using a slow cooker makes the process easy and hands-off. It’s a great option for satisfying your sweet tooth without spending too much time in the kitchen.
Directions
Layer the peanuts, chocolate chips, unsweetened chocolate, and white bark right in your slow cooker, in that order. Put the lid on and let it cook on low for about 3 hours—try not to lift the lid while it’s cooking. When the time’s up, turn off the slow cooker and let everything cool for around 10 minutes. Once it’s a little cooler, scoop out small spoonfuls of the chocolate mixture and drop them onto pieces of waxed paper. Let them sit until they’re completely set and cool, which usually takes about an hour.
