Crockpot Christmas Crack is a festive and easy-to-make holiday treat featuring layers of peanuts and melted chips including peanut butter, white, and semi-sweet chocolates. This slow cooker recipe results in a rich, gooey, and crunchy snack perfect for holiday gatherings or gift-giving.

Ingredients

Peanuts

  • 2 pounds peanuts (1 pound salted, 1 pound unsalted)

Chocolates and Chips

  • 20 oz peanut butter chips
  • 20 oz white melting chips
  • 12 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 4 oz semi-sweet chocolate baking bar (optional, for smoother texture)

Toppings

  • Christmas sprinkles

Instructions

  1. Prepare Peanuts: Place the salted and unsalted peanuts evenly on the bottom of your slow cooker to create the base layer for the treat.
  2. Layer the Chips: Carefully layer the peanut butter chips on top of the peanuts, followed by the white melting chips, then the semi-sweet chocolate chips, and finally, if using, the chopped semi-sweet chocolate baking bar for added smoothness.
  3. Cook and Stir: Cover the slow cooker with a lid and cook on the low setting. After one hour, stir the mixture to help the chips melt evenly. Continue stirring every 30 minutes until all the chocolate and chips have fully melted and combined with the peanuts, creating a smooth, gooey mixture. Once melted, turn off the crockpot to prevent burning.
  4. Portion the Crack: Using a spoon, drop spoonfuls of the melted mixture onto parchment or wax paper. Immediately sprinkle Christmas sprinkles on top before the mixture cools and hardens to ensure they stick and add a festive touch.
  5. Enjoy: Allow the treats to cool completely and harden, then enjoy your delicious Crockpot Christmas Crack or package it as holiday gifts!

Notes

  • Stirring frequently after the first hour ensures even melting and prevents scorching.
  • If you prefer a sweeter or different flavor profile, try substituting the peanut butter chips with butterscotch chips.
  • Use wax or parchment paper for easy removal and cleanup.
  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks.
  • For a nut-free variation, substitute peanuts with seeds like pumpkin or sunflower seeds.
