Crockpot Christmas Crack is a decadent holiday treat made by layering peanuts and a mix of chocolate and peanut butter chips in a slow cooker. The mixture slowly melts together, then is stirred and dropped onto parchment to cool into festive, bite-sized clusters. This easy no-bake recipe is perfect for gift-giving or holiday parties, with optional sprinkles adding a cheerful touch.

Ingredients

Scale

Peanuts

  • 1 (16 oz) jar unsalted dry roasted peanuts
  • 1 (16 oz) jar salted dry roasted peanuts

Chocolate & Chips

  • 1 (12 oz) bag semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 (12 oz) bag milk chocolate chips
  • 2 (10 oz) bags peanut butter chips
  • 2 (1 lb) packages white almond bark (broken into chunks)

Optional Topping

  • Festive holiday sprinkles

Instructions

  1. Layer Peanuts: Place both jars of unsalted and salted dry roasted peanuts evenly in the bottom of your crockpot to form the base layer.
  2. Add Chocolate Chips: Pour the semi-sweet and milk chocolate chips along with the peanut butter chips evenly over the peanuts to create the next layer.
  3. Top with Almond Bark: Spread the broken chunks of white almond bark over the layers of chocolate and peanuts.
  4. Cook: Cover the crockpot and cook on the low setting for 1.5 to 2 hours. Avoid stirring during this time so the ingredients can melt evenly.
  5. Stir Mixture: Once cooking time is complete, stir everything well to fully combine the melted chocolates and nuts into a cohesive mixture.
  6. Drop onto Paper: Using spoons, drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto parchment or wax paper laid on a flat surface.
  7. Add Sprinkles: If using, sprinkle festive holiday sprinkles over the top of each cluster for a festive look.
  8. Cool and Set: Let the clusters cool completely for about 1 hour until they are firm and set before serving or packaging.

Notes

  • Do not stir while cooking to allow the chips and almond bark to melt evenly.
  • Use parchment or wax paper to prevent clusters from sticking while cooling.
  • Store finished Christmas Crack in an airtight container to keep fresh for up to a week.
  • For extra flavor, try adding a pinch of sea salt or a dash of cinnamon before cooking.
  • If almond bark is not available, white chocolate chips can be used but may melt differently.
