Slow Cooker Peanut Clusters Candy

Making this Slow Cooker Peanut Clusters Candy Recipe was so easy, I feel like it was easier than the stovetop because chocolate can burn so quickly on the stove top, and you don't have that issue with the slow cooker.

I'm sure if you left it in the slow cooker for long enough, it would burn, so just be sure to keep an eye on it and don't overcook!

Of course, you can add in different candies if you don't want the regular M&M's, just make sure that it is something Spring or Easter color-themed and not too large! 

Baker's Note: I did make this with milk chocolate which tends to melt quicker than dark chocolate, so if you are making it with dark or semi-sweet chocolate chips, it may take a little longer to melt. You can of course use dark chocolate or even white chocolate - just be sure to keep an eye on it for different melting points.
