    I never would have thought to make this Slow Cooker Peanut Clusters Candy Recipe in the slow cooker! Now, I think some people call these peanut clusters but whatever you choose to call these delicious little homemade treats.

    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! 

    Peanut Clusters Candy Recipe

    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.

    I know that many people still like to print out recipes and keep them in a recipe binder, or simply have the printed recipe sitting in front of them when it comes time to cook! 

    Sometimes it is just easier to go off a recipe when it is printed right in front of you. Who wants to swipe their screen on their phone or tablet when their hands are greasy? So I love offering this option as well!
