    Why we love these Peanut Clusters in Slow Cooker

    Making these Peanut Clusters in Slow Cooker 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!

    How to make these Peanut Clusters in Slow Cooker

    Baker's Note about these Peanut Clusters in Slow Cooker

    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.

      What a great dessert idea for Easter. I love making candy in my slow cooker!

      Can you put the M&m’s in the crockpot?

    4. Jennifer says

      March 25, 2024 at 3:30 pm

      No, do not add the M&Ms until you are forming the little balls and putting them into the fridge. Even though they're supposed to "melt in your mouth, not in your hands," the slow cooker WILL melt them!
