Ingredients
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
Topping Ingredients
- 75 Rolo candies, unwrapped
- Sea salt, optional
- Sprinkles, optional
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: Add the pecans, cubed almond bark, bittersweet chocolate, semi-sweet chocolate chips, and salt to a 4 or 6-quart crockpot. Do not stir to keep ingredients layered.
- Cook and Stir: Cook on low heat for 1 hour. Afterward, stir the mixture thoroughly to combine all ingredients, then cook on low for an additional 45 minutes. Stir again to ensure the chocolate is fully melted. Turn off the slow cooker.
- Prepare Base: Lay two long strips of wax paper on a clean, level surface. Arrange the unwrapped Rolo candies about 3 inches apart on the wax paper.
- Assemble Candies: Use a tablespoon to scoop out mounds of the warm chocolate-coated pecans and place them over the Rolos.
- Finish and Set: Sprinkle sea salt and sprinkles over the top if desired. Allow the candies to cool and fully set before enjoying or packaging.
Notes
- If almond bark is unavailable, substitute with white chocolate plus 1 tablespoon of shortening to achieve the right consistency.
- Crockpot Candy keeps for 2 to 3 weeks in an airtight container stored in a cool, dark place. It can also be frozen for up to 6 months.
- For festive variations, use colored sprinkles matching holidays like orange and black for Halloween or green and red for Christmas.
- You can substitute semi-sweet chocolate chips with milk chocolate chips for a different flavor profile.
- Try different nuts according to preference, or replace nuts with Chex or Rice Krispies cereals for a nut-free version.
- Adding a cup of craisins to the mix gives extra flavor and texture.
