Here’s a Crockpot Chocolate Peanut Clusters recipe — rich, chocolatey, and no-bake 🍫🥜
Crockpot Chocolate Peanut Clusters
Yields: ~20–25 clusters
Time: ~10 min prep + 1 hour in crockpot
Ingredients
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips (or chopped chocolate)
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups roasted peanuts (unsalted or lightly salted)
- Optional: pinch of salt for sprinkling
Instructions
- Prepare crockpot
- Lightly grease a 9×13-inch dish or line with parchment paper if you plan to scoop clusters directly onto it later.
- Melt chocolate & peanut butter
- Add chocolate chips and peanut butter to the crockpot.
- Cook on low for 45–60 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes, until fully melted and smooth.
- Add vanilla & peanuts
- Stir in vanilla extract and roasted peanuts. Make sure peanuts are evenly coated in chocolate mixture.
- Form clusters
- Use a spoon to drop small clusters onto parchment paper or silicone mat.
- Optional: sprinkle a tiny pinch of salt on top for contrast.
- Set
- Let clusters cool at room temperature for 1 hour, or refrigerate 20–30 minutes until firm.
- Serve & store
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature (2–3 days) or in the fridge (up to 2 weeks).
Tips & Variations
- Nut-free: Substitute peanuts with toasted coconut flakes, pretzel pieces, or sunflower seeds.
- Crunchy variation: Use chopped roasted peanuts instead of whole.
- Extra chocolatey: Drizzle white chocolate over cooled clusters for decoration.
- Mini bite-size: Use a small cookie scoop for uniform clusters.
I can also give you a microwave or stove-top version that’s ready in 10 minutes if you want an even faster option.
