Ingredients That Create A Christmas Magic
Here’s everything you need to create this delicious crockpot candy:
• Peanuts: Use a mix of salted and unsalted peanuts for the perfect sweet-salty balance.

• Chocolate chips: Use milk or semi-sweet chocolate chips for a rich chocolate flavor.

7. Form the Clusters: Scoop small portions of the mixture onto parchment or wax paper to form bite-sized clusters.
8. Decorate: Immediately sprinkle your favorite toppings over the clusters before they start to set.
9. Cool Completely: Let the clusters sit until they’ve fully hardened and are easy to handle.
