Love making Christmas goodies, but need an easy chocolate treat this year! These chocolate peanut clusters are awesome, SO easy and and one of our favorite Quick and Easy Dessert Recipes.
Make peanut clusters in crockpot - these are so Easy!

Crock Pot Chocolate Peanut Clusters

Do you love making Christmas Cookies? It's been a tradition of ours for quite some time, although, I have to admit, I'm a bit of a lazy baker.

I appreciate recipes that call for less than 5 ingredients more than anyone will ever know. Whether it's easy dinner ideas or crockpot desserts, they're all my favorite.

So, naturally making peanut clusters in the crockpot is my best idea for an easy chocolate dessert idea right?

What I love about this Crockpot Peanut Cluster recipe is that it's a perfect last minute edible gift idea, too! I even sent a bag of these with my husband to a football watch party this weekend. The recipe makes a ton so it worked out perfectly. We saved about 20 for home and sent about 55 to the party – win-win!

I have no doubt that this 4 ingredient chocolate peanut cluster recipe will become a favorite of yours, too!

** If it's the dark chocolate peanut taste that you're after, I have to say that this will fit the bill, too. Since we add in the German Chocolate bar, you get that rich dark chocolate taste as well as the milk chocolate. But, they're really creamy, too as the white almond bark adds a rich, creamy texture.

Now, here's how I whip these Chocolate Peanut Clusters up:

First, gather your ingredients. You'll need:

20 ounces white almond bark
4 ounces German chocolate bar
12 ounce bag semisweet chocolate chips
24 ounces dry roasted peanutsrecipe for crock pot peanut clusters

    Can you use cashews in place of the dry roasted peanuts?

      You can use Cashews instead of almonds. I used peanuts for one batch cashews for another and almonds for another.

      Almond bark is a candy coating that is similar to the consistency of chocolate. It’s sold in the baking aisle of most grocery stores. I found it cheapest at Aldi 🙂

      You can use a saucepan but you need to be careful as on the stove it will cook faster so you need to be careful not to overcook the mixture or the chocolate will be hard and it won’t taste as good.

      Hi Erica, you can use a saucepan. That’s the only way I’ve ever made chocolate covered peanuts! I put a little water in the saucepan (like an inch or two) and then I put a glass or metal bowl that will rest somewhat down in the pan, usually with the top of the bowl sticking up above the lip of the pan a little. Turn on the heat low-medium to medium heat and add your chocolate that you want to melt to the bowl. Be very careful not to let water come up into the bowl, it will ruin the chocolate. Stir it occasionally, it doesn’t take too long to melt. When it’s completely melted, carefully remove the bowl from the water, set it on a towel and mix in nuts, or whatever you’re coating and spoon out onto parchment or wax paper. If it starts to solidify, just set it back in warm water and heat it up a little until it’s melted again. Hope this helps!

      Hi Laura, You can use salted or unsalted peanuts. I used lightly salted Almonds for the ones I made. I modified the chocolate added in the recipe as well. I used the white Almond Bark but used ghiradelli 100% cocao baking bar and milk chocolate chocolate chips.

      Hi Debbie!

      I am SO lucky that my local grocery store (that I absolutely LOVE) offers almond bark in these trays. The “big brands” still offer their almond bark in big hunks. Either way is fine, you’ll just maybe need to have a little more time in the crockpot to get it all melted.

      When you stir it after an hour use a butter knife to break up your almond bark and it will melt faster. Hope that helps!

    I made these last week with the peanuts and they are very good ! I love the wonderful chocolate taste… so I thought what else can I put in there to make it fun. Rice Krispies ! WOW… the taste was wicked ! I put 2 cups on the bottom of the crockpot ( right where the peanuts were just days ago…. the peanuts have a very bad attitude about giving up their position in line but I talked them down and all is well) layered the german choc. the chips, then the almond bark. Everything else is the same as recipe. My family raved…oh… and I put them in little cupcake papers…. they look so cute.Better than any Hersheys’ Crunch bar and I love those! But what makes this whole candy recipe rock is the combination of chocolates that make it shine !
    Thank you so much… this is my new ” oh my aren’t you the best little homemaker on the block” recipe for anything !

    How long can you freeze them for, and is there any special way you freeze them so they won’t get freezer burnt?

      Hi Andrea. Once they’ve set I put them in gallon freezer bags and freeze them that way. Love doing this!

      It is hard to read the light blue background with white type. Older eyes anyway. Just my thoughts.

    Made these last year and sprinkled sea salt on top of clusters after dropping them. Very good! I also used mini muffin papers to keep from sticking together.

    It says to put the ingredients in the pot in order , but it is listed as
    20 ounces white almond bark
    4 ounces German chocolate bar
    12 ounce bag semisweet chocolate chips
    24 ounces dry roasted peanuts

    The video shows to put the peanuts first. Is the ingredient list upside down?

    They sound and look delicious. Wat to many ads popping up all the time, I have to write recipes down can’t print them off and all those adds in the way so you can’t even see the recipe.
    When your done dropping on parchment paper are you supposed to refrigerate and how long. Couldn’t see what it said.
