Ingredients
White Chocolate Mixture
- 24 oz white chocolate chips or white candy melts
Mix-Ins
- 1 cup roasted peanuts
- 1 cup mini pretzels
- 1 cup rice cereal
- 1/2 cup dried cranberries (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the crockpot: Add 24 oz of white chocolate chips or white candy melts into the crockpot, distributing them evenly across the bottom.
- Melt the chocolate: Set the crockpot to low heat and allow the white chocolate to melt slowly for about 45 to 60 minutes, stirring occasionally to ensure smooth melting and avoid burning.
- Combine mix-ins: Once the white chocolate is fully melted and smooth, stir in 1 cup roasted peanuts, 1 cup mini pretzels, 1 cup rice cereal, and 1/2 cup dried cranberries if using, mixing thoroughly to coat all ingredients evenly with the melted chocolate.
- Form candy clusters: Using a spoon, drop spoonfuls of the chocolate-coated mixture onto parchment-lined baking sheets to form individual candy clusters.
- Set the candy: Allow the clusters to cool and harden completely at room temperature or place them in the refrigerator for faster setting before serving or packaging.
Notes
- You can substitute the roasted peanuts with almonds or cashews to suit your preference or dietary needs.
- Store the candy clusters in an airtight container to maintain freshness for up to one week.
