Scale
Main Ingredients
- 32 ounces pecan halves
- 32 ounces chocolate almond bark, cubed
- 4 ounces bittersweet chocolate
- 12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips
- ½ teaspoon salt
Toppings
- 75 Rolo candies, unwrapped
- Sea salt, optional
- Sprinkles, optional
Instructions
- Prepare ingredients: Add the pecan halves, cubed chocolate almond bark, bittersweet chocolate, semi-sweet chocolate chips, and salt to a 4 or 6-quart crockpot. Do not stir yet.
- Initial cook: Cook the mixture on low heat for 1 hour to start melting the chocolates and combine flavors.
- Stir and continue cooking: After 1 hour, stir the mixture thoroughly and cook on low for an additional 45 minutes. Stir again to ensure all chocolate is fully melted, then turn off the slow cooker.
- Prepare candy base: Lay two long strips of wax paper on a clean, level surface. Place the unwrapped Rolo candies about 3 inches apart on the wax paper.
- Assemble candies: Using a tablespoon, scoop mounds of the chocolate-coated pecan mixture and place each mound over a Rolo candy.
- Add toppings and set: Sprinkle sea salt and sprinkles over the candies if desired. Allow the candies to fully set at room temperature before enjoying or packaging.
Notes
- If almond bark is unavailable, substitute with white chocolate and add 1 tablespoon of shortening for smooth texture.
- Store Crockpot Candy in an airtight container in a cool, dark place for up to 2 to 3 weeks. You can also freeze them for up to 6 months.
- For festive variations, use colored sprinkles appropriate to holidays like orange and black for Halloween or red and green for Christmas.
- Milk chocolate chips can replace semi-sweet for a sweeter flavor blend.
- Try using different nuts or cereals like Chex or Rice Krispies for nut-free versions.
- Add a cup of craisins for extra flavor and texture.
