Peanut Butter Pretzel Crockpot Candy is an easy no-bake treat loaded with roasted peanuts, creamy peanut butter, crushed pretzels, and a blend of chocolates. Melted together in a slow cooker and topped with white chocolate drizzle and sprinkles, these clusters are perfect for holidays, gifts, or any day you crave a sweet and salty crunch.
Ingredients
½ cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, cubed
2 cups salted roasted peanuts
24 oz white almond bark or white chocolate chips, divided (reserve 1 cup for topping)
11.5 oz milk chocolate chips
10.5 oz semi‑sweet chocolate chips
2 cups creamy peanut butter
8 oz pretzel twists, lightly crushed
Sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
-
Line two baking sheets with silicone mats or parchment paper.
-
In your crockpot, layer the following: cubed butter, peanuts, most of the white almond bark (reserving about 1 cup), milk chocolate chips, semi-sweet chocolate chips, and creamy peanut butter.
-
Set the crockpot to High and let it cook for 20 minutes. Stir well.
-
Reduce the heat to Low and continue cooking for another 30 minutes. Stir again.
-
If needed, cook for an additional 5–10 minutes, stirring often, until everything is fully melted and smooth.
-
Stir in the lightly crushed pretzels until evenly coated. Turn off the crockpot.
-
Use a 2-tablespoon cookie scoop to drop clusters onto the prepared baking sheets. Let them harden for 60 to 90 minutes.
-
Melt the reserved white almond bark in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals (total about 60–90 seconds).
-
Transfer the melted chocolate to a zip-top bag, snip the corner, and drizzle over the candy.
-
Add sprinkles if using, and let the clusters cool for another 30–60 minutes until fully set.
