Crockpot Christmas Crack is a delightful and addictive holiday treat that’s easy to make in your slow cooker. It typically features a combination of chocolate, caramel, and your choice of crunchy or salty ingredients. Here’s a basic recipe to get you started:
Ingredients:
- 1 pound of white almond bark or white chocolate
- 1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup of milk chocolate chips
- 1 cup of creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup of dry roasted peanuts (or your choice of nuts)
- 2 cups of mini pretzels, broken into pieces
- 1 cup of M&M’s, crushed candy canes, or holiday sprinkles (for decoration, optional)
Instructions:
- Start by turning your crockpot on to the lowest setting (usually “Warm” or “Low”).
- Add the white almond bark or white chocolate to the crockpot. Cover with the lid and allow it to melt. Stir occasionally to ensure it melts evenly.
- Once the white chocolate is fully melted, add the semi-sweet and milk chocolate chips. Continue to stir until all the chocolate is melted and smooth.
- Stir in the creamy peanut butter until it’s fully incorporated into the chocolate mixture.
- Add the dry roasted peanuts and broken pretzels to the crockpot. Gently fold them into the chocolate mixture, making sure they are well coated.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or wax paper.
- Pour the mixture onto the lined baking sheet and spread it out evenly to your desired thickness.
- If you like, you can sprinkle crushed candy canes, M&M’s, or holiday sprinkles on top for a festive touch.
- Allow the mixture to cool and harden at room temperature. This may take a couple of hours.
- Once the Christmas Crack has hardened, break it into pieces or cut it into squares.
- Store your Crockpot Christmas Crack in an airtight container, and enjoy the sweet and salty goodness during the holiday season.
