Crockpot Christmas Crack Recipe: The Sweet and Salty Treat Everyone Loves

 



How to Make Crockpot Christmas Crack

Step 1: Prepare Your Crockpot

  • Line your crockpot with parchment paper or spray it with non-stick cooking spray for easy cleanup.

Step 2: Add the Ingredients

  1. Start by adding the roasted, salted peanuts and an optional layer of crushed saltine crackers at the bottom of the crockpot.
  2. Layer the semi-sweet chocolate chips, milk chocolate chips, white chocolate chips, and peanut butter chips on top of the peanuts.
  3. Dollop the creamy peanut butter over the top.

Step 3: Cook on Low

  • Set your crockpot to low and let everything melt for about 1.5 to 2 hours. Avoid stirring too often, as it can slow the melting process.

Step 4: Stir to Combine

  • Once the chocolate and peanut butter are fully melted, stir everything together gently until the peanuts are evenly coated.

Step 5: Portion and Decorate

  1. Using a spoon, scoop the mixture onto parchment paper or into mini cupcake liners to form clusters.
  2. While the clusters are still warm, sprinkle festive decorations like red and green sprinkles or crushed candy canes on top.

Step 6: Let It Set

  • Allow the clusters to cool and harden at room temperature, or pop them in the refrigerator for faster results.

Tips for Perfect Christmas Crack

  • Low and Slow: Keep the crockpot on low to avoid scorching the chocolate.
  • Mix It Up: Use your favorite nuts or add pretzels for extra crunch.
  • Storage: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks, or freeze for longer freshness.
