Crockpot Candy aka Peanut Clusters

December 18, 2019 By denise 1 Comment

Peanut Clusters are a simple treat to make that taste like it took a while to make. Everyone loves these!

Growing up did you ever put peanuts in your bottle of Coke? I used to love that! Visiting with my niece over Thanksgiving, somehow we got to talking about that and she had never heard of it. I even had to play her that Barbara Mandrell song, I Was Country When Country Wasn’t Cool, so she would know I was not making that up.

Anyway, one of my mom’s favorite candy is peanut clusters. So I found this recipe all over Pinterest and decided to make some for her. These are not to be confused with my Rocky Road Fudge Squares I posted previously. Different textures and flavors.

Of course, I revised it. By accident. At first I purchased chocolate almond bark. Then I went and bought the white chocolate version. Then when I had the peanuts in the crockpot, I realized I needed two pounds of it. Seeing as how I was already in my pajamas and in for the night, that was not happening.

So I improvised and used two different chips and it turned out great! My clusters are a little big but that’s usually how my serving sizes are so it’s fine. This made six dozen so if you want more, just make your clusters smaller.

They are perfect for Christmas cookie boxes. These boxes seem to be all the rage at Christmas time. I still remember the days when all cookies came in tins. I must say I like boxes much better. I made different boxes for different groups of friends this year but they all had a little Reindeer love in them. I found the eyes and noses packaged together at Walmart. So fun!

You can make these plain, throw some peppermint chips, Heath toffee, or event make a Reindeer face on these. So many options to take them u p a notch.
