Lazy Slow Cooker Chocolate Candy

Print Recipe

Set it, forget it, and get ready for a chocolatey explosion of sweet, salty, crunchy goodness! This doubled-up slow cooker candy recipe makes a massive batch—perfect for holiday gifting, party platters, or snacking straight from the fridge. We’ve added crushed pretzels and a swirl of peanut butter for extra texture and flavor.

Ingredients

Scale

4 (12 oz) bags white baking chips

2 (12 oz) bags colored melting wafers (use red, green, or a mix for holidays)

32 oz salted peanuts

2 cups candy-coated chocolate pieces (like M&Ms), divided

1½ cups crushed mini pretzels (for crunch)

½ cup creamy peanut butter (for swirls—optional but amazing)

Instructions

Line your slow cooker with a liner or parchment for easy cleanup.

Layer white baking chips, melting wafers, and peanut butter in the slow cooker. Do not stir yet.

Cover and cook on LOW for 1 hour.

After 1 hour, stir everything together until fully melted and smooth.

Stir in salted peanuts and crushed pretzels. Fold in half the M&Ms (save the rest for topping).

Drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto wax or parchment paper-lined counters or baking sheets.

While still warm, press a few M&Ms on top of each candy for decoration.

Let cool completely (at room temp or in the fridge). Store in an airtight container.
