This is a recipe that I got from a friend, who got it from her sister, and between the three of us we've handed it out everywhere! The chocolaty candies couldn't be easier to make in the slow cooker and, depending on the size of your spoon, you can get dozens of candies from one batch. So easy and great for gifts.-Anita Bell, Hermitage, Tennessee

Tips:

For the best results, use high-quality chocolate that contains at least 70% cocoa.
If you don't have any baking sheets, you can use parchment paper on a cookie sheet.
Make sure the chocolate is completely melted before adding the peanut butter and vanilla extract.
If the mixture is too thick, add a little bit of milk or cream.
If the mixture is too thin, add a little bit more peanut butter or cocoa powder.
Be careful not to overmix the batter, as this will make the drops tough.
Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before dropping it by teaspoonfuls onto the prepared baking sheet.
Bake the drops for 10-12 minutes, or until they are set but still soft in the center.
Let the drops cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store the drops in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
