Crock Pot Chocolate Candy

This is a recipe I thought I would try out this year and give away in our gift boxes.  I make a variety of goodies every year and give them out to our friends.

I have been told that to deviate from this exact recipe can be disastrous, so I am going to stick with what I was told.

You will need a six quart crock pot or slow cooker, wax paper, patience and the following ingredients.

1 x 16 oz. jar roasted, unsalted peanuts
1 x 16 oz. jar roasted, salted peanuts
1 x 12 oz. package semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 bar (4 ozs.) german chocolate, broken into pieces
3 lbs. (two 24 oz. pkgs.) white almond bark, broken into pieces

Layer the ingredients into the crock pot in the order given, and put the lid on, setting it at the lowest setting for 3 hours.  I am using the "warm" setting.   If your crock pot is too hot, it will burn the candy!



DO NOT take the lid off the crock pot after you turn it on.  Let it sit and warm for the 3 hours.  Take the lid off, turn the crock pot off and let it cool for just  a moment.  The candy will not all be melted, but it will be soft.

Mix the batch thoroughly and then use a teaspoon or a cookie scoop to drop the candy onto wax paper.  Let it cool completely and it's ready to be packaged.  Makes 150-170 pieces.
