Crock Pot Candy (“Mr. Bud Candy”) – Step-by-Step Guide
If you love chocolate and peanuts, crock pot candy is your new best friend. It’s a decadent, chewy candy that melts in your mouth, perfect for holidays, gifts, or anytime you need a sweet treat. The beauty of this recipe is its simplicity: your slow cooker does the hard work, so you just combine ingredients and wait.
Ingredients
You’ll need:
- 1 bag (12 oz) semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 bag (10 oz) butterscotch chips (optional, for a twist)
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 cups roasted peanuts (or any nut of your choice)
- Optional toppings: sea salt, mini M&Ms, or sprinkles
Tip: Using high-quality chocolate makes a noticeable difference in flavor.
Step 1: Prepare Your Crock Pot
- Grease your slow cooker with butter or non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Set your crock pot to low heat. Candy can burn if the heat is too high.
Step 2: Melt the Chocolate
- Add chocolate chips (and butterscotch chips if using) to the crock pot.
- Pour in the sweetened condensed milk.
- Stir gently to combine. The mixture should start melting together into a smooth, glossy texture.
Tip: Stir every 5–10 minutes to avoid burning and ensure even melting.
Step 3: Add Vanilla and Nuts
- Once the chocolate mixture is smooth, add vanilla extract.
- Stir in roasted peanuts. These add crunch and flavor. You can also substitute almonds, cashews, or pecans for variety.
