This mouthwatering Crockpot Christmas Crack is an easy and festive treat that’s perfect for holiday gatherings, cookie plates, or party snacks. Made with a delightful mix of peanut butter chips, chocolate, peanuts, and white chocolate, melted slowly in a crockpot and topped with colorful Christmas sprinkles, it’s rich, delicious, and guaranteed to impress.

Ingredients

Base Ingredients

  • 2 pounds peanuts (preferably 1 pound salted, 1 pound unsalted)

Chocolate Layers

  • 20 oz peanut butter chips
  • 20 oz white melting chips (Ghirardelli recommended, or high quality almond bark)
  • 12 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 4 oz semi-sweet chocolate baking bar (optional, for smoother texture)

Toppings

  • Christmas sprinkles, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Layer the ingredients: Place the peanuts evenly on the bottom of the slow cooker. Then layer the chocolate chips, followed by the semi-sweet baking bar pieces, then peanut butter chips, and finally top with the white melting chips. This layering ensures even melting, as the white chocolate melts fastest at the top.
  2. Cook in the crockpot: Cover with the lid and cook on low heat. After one hour, carefully stir the mixture to combine the melting layers. Continue stirring every 30 minutes until the mixture is fully melted and smooth, usually after about 2 hours total.
  3. Cool and add sprinkles: Once the mixture is fully melted and combined, turn off the crockpot. Spoon the melted candy mixture onto parchment or wax paper in desired portions. Immediately sprinkle Christmas sprinkles on top before it cools and hardens to allow them to stick.
  4. Set and serve: Let the candy set completely at room temperature until firm. Once set, enjoy your festive Crockpot Christmas Crack!

Notes

  • Store finished Christmas Crack in an airtight container at room temperature for best texture and flavor.
  • Freezing is not recommended as thawing can cause messiness and texture changes unless eaten frozen immediately.
  • You may substitute any combination of chocolate chips, but keep total volume consistent for best results.
  • The white chocolate wafers melt fastest which is why they are placed on top to allow gradual melting of other layers below.
  • If using almond bark instead of melting wafers, chop and place closer to the bottom; layering order then becomes less important.
  • Semi-sweet chocolate chips balance the sweetness from peanut butter and white chocolate chips, providing a rich chocolate flavor without being too sweet.
