Chocolate Peanut Clusters with Unsalted Dry Roasted

Serves 20 in about 2 hours. A slow cooker recipe with a short method.

Ingredients

• 2 lbs white melting chocolate (white almond bark or candy coating)
• 4 oz sweet baking chocolate
• 2 cups semi sweet chocolate chips
• 16 oz salted dry roasted peanuts
• 8 oz unsalted dry roasted peanuts
• 8 oz cocktail peanuts

Method

1. Line your kitchen counter with parchment, or 3 baking sheets with parchment (this recipe makes a lot!).
2. In a 5 qt or larger slow cooker, add the white melting chocolate, sweet baking chocolate, and semi sweet chocolate chips. Put the lid on and set to LOW for 1-2 hours, while stirring now and then (you will want to check it to make sure it is not burning).
3. When the chocolates are all soft and melted enough, stir to combine them.
4. Tip in all of the nuts to the slow cooker and stir them in well. Put the lid on and switch to Warm, or turn off the slow cooker (but leave the crock in the housing to stay warm).
5. Use an ice cream scoop or a Tablespoon, depending on how large you want your peanut clusters, to scoop small mounds onto the parchment paper. After you have used all of the mixture, Rinse your crock with hot water.
6. The candies will take about an hour to really set. When they are set, transfer to an air tight container. These keep well for a week or so, and are wonderful to give as gifts!
