MS. MARSHA'S CROCK POT CANDY

This recipe came from a very sweet woman I know. My family absolutely loves these little candies and they could hardly be easier. The hardest part is spooning the candy on to the paper to cool, that and not eating them all be for they set. Please note only use DRY utensils when making chocolates, water can ruin your candies. You may need to put the candy in to the fridge for a little while to get it to set if it is very warm in your house the day that you make them. For example, last time I made them I was also baking bread that day, the kitchen was too warm for the candies so I had to very carefully cut my parchment to manageable sizes so that my candy could be placed in the fridge. If it is more than 72 in your kitchen you may want to plan on chilling them in the fridge and that means making sure you can safetly make it from your crock pot to your fridge or a really cool place in your house without dropping all your goodies on the floor. I use what I consider to be an average sized family crockpot for my candy I believe it holds about 3 quarts. I have successfully halved the recipe and used a smaller crock pot, the candy will only take around 1 hour and 45 minutes for the half batch to melt.

0.5 (12 ounce) package peanut butter chips

CROCK POT CANDY (MR. BUD'S CANDY)

I saw this on Just A Pinch Recipe Club, putting here for safe-keeping. It sounds like it would be good for Christmas time or for fund-raising events. Here is a note that was in the directions: If your crockpot appliance is below 275 watts, you should not have any problem with the candy burning if you follow the ingredients and the directions, however, all crockpots are different, so please pay attention to your cooking process. Look on the bottom of your appliance to see the wattage. The other note was too long to include here, so it's at the bottom of the recipe.

Time 3h15m

Yield 3 pounds, 150-170 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 (16 ounce) jar unsalted dry roasted peanuts
1 (16 ounce) jar dry roasted salted peanuts
1 (12 ounce) package semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 bar sweetened German chocolate (4 ozs., green packaging)
3 lbs two 24 oz. pkgs. white almond bark, broken into pieces

Steps:

  • Put ingredients into a 4 or 5-quart crockpot in EXACT order as listed. Cover and cook on LOWEST setting [on your appliance] for 3 hours.
  • DO NOT remove lid!
  • Turn off and allow to cool slightly. Mixture will not be melted but will be soft.
  • Mix thoroughly and drop by teaspoon size cookie dropper or a teaspoon onto wax paper. Let cool thoroughly.
  • NOTE: This candy is made best by following the recipe to the letter. Make other variations and changes at your own risk, [for example, using pecans or almonds in place of peanuts; white chocolate chips instead of almond bark, etc.] as this is the voice of experience speaking. Please take into consideration that it may alter the quality of the finished product.
  • **NOTE: There seems to be discrepancies in the terms crockpot and slow cooker. This recipe is for a crockpot which, when on low, will only melt the ingredients. A slow cooker will get hotter and start to cook the ingredients, thus resulting in an inferior product. Please be aware of what kind of appliance you have. It seems the older "crockpot" works best. There have been some who have burned their ingredients because their appliance is too hot. The makers and manufacturers of these appliances seem to interchange the description of their appliances calling slow cookers crockpots. It seems that Rival owns the name crockpot, therefore, others can't use the name crockpot, they are slow cookers. It's very confusing, but slow cookers, indeed, cook hotter, which could result in burning of this recipe.

Tips:

  • Use a slow cooker liner: This will make cleanup a breeze.
  • Don't overfill the slow cooker: Leave enough room for the candy to bubble and expand.
  • Stir the candy occasionally: This will help to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the slow cooker.
  • Use a candy thermometer: This is the best way to ensure that the candy reaches the correct temperature.
  • Be patient: Candy takes time to cook. Don't rush the process or you'll end up with a sticky mess.

Conclusion:

Making candy in a slow cooker is a great way to create delicious treats without a lot of effort. With a little planning and patience, you can make all sorts of candies, from simple caramels to decadent chocolate truffles. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, give slow cooker candy a try.
