Peanut Clusters with Three Kinds of Chocolate

Look for cocktail peanuts at the grocery store, which are roasted and salted peanuts. They’re usually in the snack aisle.

The peanuts are coated in dark chocolate and German baking chocolate. The white chocolate is drizzled over the top.

It really doesn’t get any easier than this – once you have your ingredients, it’s so simple to make.

How to Make It

To make clean-up easy, spray the crock pot with cooking spray first.

Place all of the ingredients in the crock pot, cover it with the lid, and set it to cook on low for three hours.

After the time is up, turn the slow cooker off and let the chocolate and peanuts sit for 20 minutes. Uncover the slow cooker and stir until the chocolate is smooth.

Layout pieces of wax paper on your counter and drop spoonfuls of the chocolate and peanuts on it.

Add the White Chocolate Drizzle

Melt the white chocolate chips in the microwave until they are melted and smooth. Use a spoon to drizzle it over the peanut clusters.

Let the chocolate peanut clusters cool at room temperature. Once they are set, transfer them to an airtight container.

Tips for Storing Them

What I LOVE about these crock pot peanut clusters is that they keep really well! So, they are perfect for holiday dessert platters and for gifting.

You can store them at room temperature, in the refrigerator, and you can freeze them! If you freeze them, you can thaw them later at room temperature or in the fridge.

If you have a salty-sweet chocolate fan in your life, you have got to make a batch of these easy peanut clusters! Or, make a batch and treat yourself – just be sure to hide them because they seem to disappear quickly when I make them!
