One of the last things I do before Christmas is making chocolate candy clusters and they are so easy whether done in a slow cooker, microwave, or double boiler, if I don't wait until the last minute they would be gone in a New York minute.
We love all the favorite kinds, barks, toffee, caramel, peanut brittle and so many holiday candy treats this is the easiest made in a slow cooker with melted chocolate and anything you can dip into it to make a cluster of delicious candies.
I was in the market today, and the memories of mixed nuts still in the shell were looking at me which were a pain when making candy but less money and that's what mom would use.
My mom would buy all the nuts roast them in their shells in the oven then crack each one to get the meat out of them after cooling to make candy.
We just didn't have nut clusters, she used, coconut, dried figs dates, and even pretzel sticks.
I am sure you all have those Christmas traditions in your home this slow cooker easy chocolate treat was always my favorite as a child and still is
Now instead of using a double boiler, I make this in a slow cooker and it's so much easier and you can also melt this in the microwave.
Mom would put them on a cookie sheet to dry but I like to add the candy to paper liners for gift-giving, they make great gifts for candy lovers.
