Easy Candy Recipe For A Busy Time Of The Year

I love to make candy during the Christmas season to give out as gifts to friends, family and neighbors.  I’ll wrap them up in a pretty bag and put a cute little card on them.  I’ve made all sorts of treats and desserts before, but I do like to make candy.  Sometimes, the Holiday season can get away from us.  Am I the only one that is rushing to get our Christmas Cards in the mail so they at lease reach their destinations by New Years?!?!  When I’m short on time but still want to spread some sugary Christmas cheer, this easy Crockpot Candy recipe is just the thing.

Nestle Morsels is the perfect ingredient for my crockpot candy.

What Is The Best Chocolate to Use For Crockpot Candy?

This time of year, it is fun to walk down the bakery aisle of your grocery store.  You can find all sorts of limited edition versions of your favorite brands.  For instance, I found these NESTLÉ® TOLL HOUSE® Limited Edition Holiday Morsels.   These red, green and the classic Semi-Sweet morsels are all wrapped up in a festive seasonal package!  While I was there I also picked up a few more packages of NESTLÉ® TOLL HOUSE® morsels in different varieties.  My husband LOVES to make chocolate chip cookies with our daughter.  So I’m sure these will come in handy later.

An easy crockpot candy recipe for the holidays. 

Course: Dessert
Cuisine: American
Author: Kat @amomsimpression.com adapted from http://www.justapinch.com
Ingredients
  • 1 bag 10 oz Nestle Holiday Semi-Sweet Chocolate Morsels
  • 1 bag 11.5 oz Nestle Milk Chocolate Morsels
  • 2 bags 11 oz Peanut Butter and Milk Chocolate Morsels
  • 1 bag 12 oz Nestle Premier White Morsels
  • 1 jar 16 oz Unsalted Peanuts
  • 1 jar 16 oz Salted Peanuts
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil optional
Instructions
  1. Layer all ingredients into a slow cooker. I started with the peanuts and then added the morsels on top. Cook on low for 2 hours, covered. Remove lid and stir to combine all ingredients well. Replace the slow cooker lid and continue to cook on low for 30 more minutes. At this point if you need a thinner consistency add the vegetable oil. Drop mixture onto wax paper using a spoon and let harden (about an hour).

    Omgosh I love it! I never would have thought of making this in a slow cooker… I actually just made holiday bark (on my blog) and you definitely have to melt/stir/melt/stir etc in the microwave. I love anything with a slow cooker – throw it in and walk away! Definitely doing this next time 🙂
