Peanut Butter Crock Pot Candy

Peanut Butter Crock Pot Candy

Now that the Christmas decorations are finally put away, it is time to start thinking of the next holiday-- St. Valentine's Day!! And what better way to celebrate and tell those around you that they are appreciated than giving them some chocolates!!!! In this installment of this blog, I am posting a variation of the earlier candy recipe that my daughter, Maria, shared with me before Christmas. This new recipe is more like a peanut butter melt-away. A small box of a variety of these chocolates would be a nice little treat to share with friends and family this Valentine's Day............... It will be here before you know it!! :)

Peanut Butter Crock Pot Candy

1 c. Milk Chocolate candy discs

1 c. White Chocolate candy discs

1 1/4 c. Peanut butter-- Chunky would be good

Put chocolates in a crock pot for an hour or so... stirring periodically til melted. Once close to melted, add the peanut butter and stir til blended. Pour into lined tassie pans and refrigerate til firm. ( You can also put the chocolates in a pyrex bowl and put into a 150 degree oven for 15-20 minutes. Check for meltedness ( is that a word??), then add peanut butter). This made about 75 candies.

One of the fun new recipes that I learned of this Christmas is a candy recipe that my oldest daughter,Maria Cosme, made. It is super easy ( I LIKE that) and it is quite tasty!!! It is one of those recipes that you can adjust according to what you have on hand and to your taste!!!

Since we are running out of time for this year, I think I might try this for St. Valentine's Day!!!

Wishing everyone a Happy, Healthy, Prosperous New Year!!!!!

Crock Pot Candy

1 16 oz jar plain peanuts

1 16 oz jar roasted peanuts

1 12 oz pkg milk chocolate chips

1 lb. Almond Bark

1 lb. White Chocolate Chips

1. Layer above ingredients in crock pot.
2. Cook on low for 2 hours.
3. Take lid off and stir half way through. If need be, add more chocolate at this time.
4. Place candies in tea size cupcake holders.
5. Let stand until firm.

Note: I replaced the almond bark with dark chocolate chips due to nut allergies.

The dark chocolate chips and white chocolate chips can be purchased at Mary’s Cakes and Candies.
