❤️WHY WE LOVE THIS RECIPE
We love simple recipes and this is just that.. and super versatile. We love our crock pot and this is a great way to make candy. With only a few ingredients, you can have great candy in a few hours and you didnt really have to dirty a dish. So that is a win win!
SWAPS
You can switch up the nuts to what you like, many people love cashews. You can also add in the chocolate you like; we like semi-sweet, but some love dark chocolate. We like this recipe with peanut butter but I do think you could easily make this with almond butter or other nut butters.
⭐TIP
We use semi-sweet chocolate and add a little white chocolate because it really does give it the best flavor. You don’t have to do that, but we love it that way. We also did peanuts and pecans because we like them together, but you don’t have to!

Will they set up without using cupcake liners, but using a spoon to drop onto wax or parchment paper?
Yes, I think that would work just fine.
I would love to make this candy for Christmas. Could I freeze it or how long could I store it? Thank you so much for sharing! Your recipes are my “go to” because I can always trust they are great—and instructions are always so understandable! Merry Christmas!
They can be frozen and they will keep for months in the freezer. They will store for about 2 weeks in a cool place too. So glad you are enjoying our recipes!! Have a wonderful Christmas.
If you don’t use 2 cups of pecans, then should you use 4 cups of peanuts? Thank you!
Yes, I would! 🙂
