How long does Christmas Crock Pot Candy last?

When stored in an airtight container at room temperature, Christmas Crock Pot Candy stays fresh for up to 2 weeks . If you want to make it in advance or store leftovers longer, place the candy in freezer-safe bags and freeze for up to 2 months . Be sure to flash-freeze pieces individually first to prevent them from sticking together.

Can I make Christmas Crock Pot Candy without a slow cooker?

Yes! If you don’t have a crock pot, you can melt the ingredients in a double boiler or microwave using short 20-30 second bursts, stirring in between. Just be sure to melt slowly to avoid burning the chocolate or seizing the almond bark. The slow cooker is preferred for its even, gentle heat, but stovetop and microwave methods work in a pinch.

What can I use instead of almond bark?

While almond bark is recommended for the best results (firm texture and easy setup), you can substitute it with candy melts or a combination of white chocolate + coconut oil (1 teaspoon oil per 1 cup of chocolate) to help it firm up. Avoid using only regular chocolate as it may not harden properly at room temperature,

Break the white and chocolate almond bark into small pieces and place in the crock pot.
Add the salted peanuts and stir to distribute evenly.

Using a towel under the lid helps prevent condensation from ruining the texture.
Chill candy to speed up setting if you’re short on time.
