This easy Crockpot Candy recipe is made in a slow cooker with chocolate, graham cereal, peanuts, and marshmallows! The crockpot does all the work and the result is the best chocolate candy ever!
Making crockpot candy is easy to make with simple ingredients! You just dump everything into the slow cooker and then let it cook for a few hours, until it’s all melty. Chocolate Peanut Clusters are also the perfect gift or addition to a holiday platter. Growing up crockpot candy was a yearly occurance so now I make it with my family too!
Ingredients Needed
- Nuts: I used roasted peanuts but you can use any kind of nut you like (regular cocktail peanuts, almonds, cashews, etc).
- Cereal: Instead of making plain old crockpot candy, I add Golden Grahams to make them more s’mores like.
- Almond Bark: I always use chocolate almond bark or Ghirardelli candy melts.
- Chocolate Chips: I used semi-sweet chocolate chips.
- Marshmallows: I used mini marshmallows to complete the s’mores flavor.
How to make Crock-Pot Candy
- Place nuts and cereal in the bottom of a 6-7 quart crockpot. Place almond bark and chocolate chips on top. Cook on high for about 2 hours (check after 1 hour) until you melt the chocolate.
- Stir to combine the nuts, cereal, and chocolate, then gently stir in the marshmallows.
- Immediately scoop candy clusters onto wax paper lined baking sheets using two spoons. Chill to set.
Expert Tips
- You can also use walnuts or pecans for the nuts in this recipe!
- You could also use white chocolate chips.
- Sprinkle some sea salt on top for an extra flavor!

I am not a fan of long lines either. The online shopping service sounds great – just like your crockpot candy!
Your Walmart sounds like my Trader Joe’s. No matter the time I get there, it’s a 20 min line in a tiny store and it feels like a fire code violation on Sunday afternoons, always. lol because it’s SO crowded! But I keep going back. I need some of this candy of yours to energize me 🙂
