Ingredients

16 oz. whole unsalted nuts peanuts, pecans, almonds
24 oz. dark chocolate chips
10 oz. peanut butter chips
½ cup creamy peanut butter
Christmas sprinkles, crushed peppermint, or flaked sea salt *for topping

Instructions

Add all ingredients to a crock pot set over low heat.
Heat for 90 minutes with lid on, stirring after every 30 minutes or so.
After 90 minutes, give the mixture a few more good stirs and transfer large spoonfuls to a parchment lined baking sheet in small mounds.
*If the mixture pools on parchment paper rather than piling, allow the mixture to cool a bit before scooping so it can pile higher.
Candy clusters will take about 1 hour to fully harden at room temperature. You can add them to the fridge to speed this up. Store in an airtight container.

How to store: When it comes to storing your crack candy, it's best to place it in an airtight container and store on the counter at room temperature. If it's warm outside, the clusters may melt and stick to one another.
