Instructions
Creating Patriotic Crockpot Peanut Clusters is a simple yet rewarding process. Follow these steps to bring your sweet concoction to life:
1. Prepare the Crockpot: Set your crockpot to low and grease it lightly with non-stick spray to prevent sticking.
2. Layer the Peanuts: Pour the salted peanuts into the bottom of the crockpot, spreading them evenly.
3. Add the Chips: Over the peanuts, add the semi-sweet, milk chocolate, and white chocolate chips. If you want an extra creamy texture, stir in the peanut butter for a decadent twist!
4. Melt the Ingredients: Cover the crockpot and let it cook on low for about 2 hours. Do not lift the lid during cooking to ensure the heat remains consistent.
5. Stir the Mixture: After 1.5 hours, carefully uncover the crockpot and gently stir the mixture until well combined.
6. Scoop the Clusters: Once completely melted and combined, use a tablespoon or cookie scoop to drop clusters onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
7. Decoration: Before the chocolate sets, sprinkle red, white, and blue sprinkles over the clusters.
8. Let Set: Allow the clusters to sit at room temperature for 30-60 minutes to firm up completely.
9. Serve: Once the clusters are set, they’re ready for serving! Enjoy sharing these delightful treats.
