Turn your crock pot into a candy maker with these Crock Pot Nut Clusters. Just a few ingredients and about 5 minutes of prep time is all you need.

What Kind Of Nuts To Use"

You can use all peanuts or a mixture of nuts. I used a combination of peanuts and cashews. I was going to use all cashews but then I realized how expensive that would be. Pecans would also be delicious.

A couple of hours on LOW in the slow cooker melts the chocolate. Scoop them out with a large spoon or use an ice cream scoop for more uniform clusters.

Place them on parchment lined baking sheets and either refrigerate for about 45 minutes or let sit at room temperature for 1 to 2 hours to set. Melt some white chocolate almond bark to drizzle over them to fancy them up some.
Recipe Tip

Coconut oil can be used in place of shortening.

Storage

Can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature but if the house is warm, stick them in the refrigerator. You can separate them with strips of wax paper or parchment paper so they don’t stick together. Can be frozen for up to 3 months.
