I absolutely love making nutty cluster candies around the holiday season. They make a great wrapped edible gift! It’s so fun to package these treats in cello bags and tie a little gift tag to give to friends and neighbors.

What sets my crockpot chocolate peanut clusters apart is no white almond bark. Almond bark, also called “candy coating,” has some additives that I’m not a fan of, and this recipe is a great alternative that is just as delicious — if not more!

How to make Crockpot Chocolate Peanut Clusters

  1. Evenly spread the dry roasted peanuts on the bottom of the slow cooker. Sprinkle the semi-sweet chocolate chips over top, followed by your milk chocolate, peanut butter, and finally the white.
  2. Place a tea towel beneath the lid to collect condensation. Cover your slow cooker and cook on low heat for 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes.

3. When all ingredients are mostly melted, remove the insert. The heat from the crock will continue to melt the mixture as you stir everything until smooth, be sure to give the melted chocolate a good stir.

4. Now we’re going to make our slow cooker chocolate peanut clusters! Working quickly, use a medium cookie scoop (2 tablespoons) to portion out treats onto cookie sheets lined with parchment paper or wax paper. Use a small cookie scoop for smaller candies!

5. Final Step

Tap the tops of the candies with the back of the scoop or wooden spoon to flatten them. This is a fun step for the kids to help with!

Allow your crockpot peanut clusters to set up on the counter on the baking sheet. You can also refrigerate them for 15-30 minutes to set them fast. This easy recipe makes a lot of candy, about 60 generous pieces. Perfect for holiday gifts, Valentine’s day or anytime a peanut butter chocolate craving hits.

Top Tips for Crockpot Peanut Clusters

  • Use high-quality chips | Whether it is the peanut butter, milk chocolate or white chocolate, the higher the quality of the chip, the less additives there are. My favorite brands are Ghirardelli and Guittard, but the bottom line, buy the best chocolate you can afford.
  • Every crockpot or slow cooker heats differently, be sure to set a timer at least every 15 minutes to stir; once the mixture starts getting dry and thick at the bottom remove the crockpot from heat. 
  • Place a clean tea towel or paper towel between the lid and the crockpot to absorb any moisture. 
  • Stir Well | In recipes where you are melting chocolate (like my chocolate ganache), stirring is key to helping things melt! So remove from heat when there are still some whole pieces of chocolate, keep stirring they will disappear.
  • Use any combination of chips you choose! Mix and match; just make sure it’s about the same volume!
  • Patience!! — keep your crockpot on low! Using the high setting could overheat and burn the mixture.
  • Several times when I’ve made this recipe, the chocolate to peanuts ratio was a little off towards the end of scooping. Stir in a ¼ cup of additional peanuts at the end. It helps to stir the mixture occasionally while scooping.
  • Every slow cooker heats differently. This recipe takes 45 minutes for me, but I’ve heard others say it can take as long as 1 ½ hours. Stirring frequently will keep your mixture from burning. If it starts to look “dry,” it’s time to remove from the heat or switch to your “warm” setting if more melting is needed. And whatever you do, keep stirring!

Crock Pot Peanut Clusters Variations

  • Try other flavors | I also recommend cinnamon chips, butterscotch, Andes Mints, caramel nibs, or Heath toffee bits for varied and delicious flavors! Just make sure the quantities are the same as written for this crockpot peanut clusters recipe. Roughly, a few ounces here and there won’t impact it.
  • Garnishes | While your crockpot chocolate peanut clusters are still gooey and melty, add some sprinkles or (my favorite) flaky sea salt. This is especially delicious if you’re using Heath bits.
  • Dark Chocolate Peanut Clusters | Use your favorite dark chocolate to make this easy chocolate peanut candy.
  • Use different nuts! Pecans, cashews, hazelnuts, macadamias and almonds would all be absolutely delicious here.

I dressed some of mine up by scooping them into silicone heart shaped molds, for a fun and easy Valentine’s day chocolate. Use other silicone shaped molds for various holidays and change your sprinkles to match. 

Our favorite chocolate recipes include these Copycat Crumbl Chocolate Chip Cookies, this Mile High Mud Pie and these Mini French Silk Pies!

Dairy Free Peanut Clusters

Lily’s and Enjoy Life are dairy-free and gluten-free and they claim to melt just like regular chips. Proceed with recipe.

Recipe for Sugar Free Peanut Clusters

Lily’s are also sugar-free, so these are great to make for a low-carb, Keto or sugar-free diet. Use your favorite sugar-free chip combination, I suggest adding 3-4 tablespoons of no-sugar peanut butter instead of peanut butter chips, unless you can find sugar-free!

Microwave Peanut Clusters Option

If you want to speed up the process further, use the microwave! Just cut the recipe in half using the handy slider button the recipe card below. Or plan on doing this twice for the same amount.

In a large microwave-safe bowl, place the milk chocolate and semi-sweet chocolate chips, heat for 30 seconds, stir well and then heat again for another 30 seconds.

Stirring well between additions, add the white chocolate and the peanut butter baking chips, stirring before heating (there are heat pockets when microwaving that will continue to melt the chocolate).

Heat for 30 seconds, stir well, repeat the process in 20-30-second intervals, stirring well between additions until all chocolate is melted. Add the peanuts ,stir to coat, and proceed with the recipe.

Place several in cello bags and tie with ribbon and a gift tag, crockpot peanut clusters make great gifts.

Storing Crockpot Peanut Clusters

Store your chocolate peanut clusters in an airtight container, in a cool place for 2-3 weeks (yes, weeks!). Or keep in fridge, up to 1 month. 

Can I freeze Slow Cooker Peanut Clusters?

If stored for longer, they may be frozen in an airtight container or baggie for up to 3-4 months. To thaw, set in the fridge for a few hours, then bring to room temperature. This will discourage condensation. But it’s kind of hard to hurt these candies, so don’t stress and enjoy your chocolate.

Frequently Asked Questions

Should crockpot peanut clusters be refrigerated?

No, these candies do not need to be kept in the fridge! I recommend storing them right on the counter in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks. Though you can quickly firm them up in the fridge.

What is the white coating on my crockpot chocolate peanut clusters?

We call that “chocolate bloom.” It’s totally harmless! It messes with the presentation a smidge, but the crockpot peanut clusters will be just as delicious.

What do I do if my chocolate won’t melt?

Chocolate chips are basically engineered to keep their shape, so some brands have trouble melting. If this happens, add a tiny bit of coconut or vegetable oil and stir. Add small amounts at a time until you get a nice, smooth texture.

Can I make a half batch of easy crock pot peanut clusters?

Yes! Cut the ingredients in half and watch the time too, I recommend you stir every 10 minutes, until you have melted chocolate and a creamy texture.

Instructions

IN THE CROCKPOT Layer ingredients in the following order:

  • Evenly spread the peanuts on the bottom of the slow cooker, then sprinkle evenly the semi-sweet chocolate chips, milk chocolate chips, peanut butter chocolate chips, finishing with the white chocolate chips. 
  • Place a clean tea towel under the lid to collect any condensation, then place lid on the slow cooker and cook on low for about 1 hour. Stirring every 15 minutes. When the chocolate is MOSTLY melted, remove the insert, the heat from the insert and the melted chocolate will continue melting. Stir until all of the morsels are completely melted and mixed in.
  • While the chocolate is melting, line 3 baking sheets with parchment or waxed paper.
  • Mine only took 45 minutes, I have heard some people say it takes as long as 1 ½ hours, stirring frequently will melt the chocolate quicker and prevent it from burning. 
  • Making Peanut Clusters
  • Working quickly, use a medium (2 tablespoon) cookie scoop or smaller if desired, scoop the mixture onto the prepared baking sheets, tap the tops of candies with the back of the cookie scoop to flatten slightly. This is a great job to invite kids to help with!
  • Add sprinkles if desired (change sprinkles for desired holiday) and/or flaky sea salt, my favorite!
  • Allow chocolates to set up on the counter, or if desired, refrigerate for 15-30 minutes before serving.

    Most recipes I’ve seen call for 2# of either almond bark or white chocolate chips. I wish I’d have seen your recipe before using another one yesterday & cut the white chocolate in half! Your recipe is much more detailed, which I prefer. Also, I figure there’s already enough peanuts, so I sub caramel chips for the pb chips.
    All the recipes I’ve seen like this layer the ingredients, which I don’t understand. It’s all going to get mixed anyway!

      Hi Johnny,

      Gosh, I have never tried using a liner as this cleans up really easily. Since it is a thick mixture and you need to stir it to keep it from burning, Iโ€™m not sure I would recommend them. But if you do, let me know how it works!

    Love good easy recipes, and adding holiday sprinkles is a great idea too

      Thanks Rebecca, I agree, love recipes that can adapt to a holiday by changing up the sprinkles!

    I have leftover mixed nuts and leftover chocolate from my fountain that were out for the Teen’s party. This will be a great way to use them. Thanks.
