How to make crock pot peanut clusters
Step 1: Place the cocktail peanuts on the bottom of a 6 quart slow cooker.
You will need a full size crock pot for this recipe, as the peanuts and chocolate will fill it almost to the top.
Step 2: Top the peanuts with the semi sweet chocolate chips, then the dark chocolate chips, then the milk chocolate chips.
Step 3: Place the white chocolate chips on top and cover with the slow cooker lid.
Step 4: Cook the chocolate peanuts on low for 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes, until the chocolate is completely melted.
Step 5: Line baking sheets with wax paper.
Use a mini cookie scoop or a spoon to drop chocolate covered peanuts onto the baking sheets.
You will need 2-3 baking sheets as this recipe makes around 60 peanut clusters.
I found that 20 clusters would fit per baking sheet.
Step 6: Place the peanut clusters in the refrigerator until set.
