Description
A comforting, nutty treat made with chocolate, peanuts, and pretzels in a slow cooker.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 (12 oz) bags white baking chips
- 2 (12 oz) bags colored melting wafers
- 32 oz salted peanuts
- 2 cups candy-coated chocolate pieces (like M&Ms), divided
- 1½ cups crushed mini pretzels
- ½ cup creamy peanut butter (optional)
Instructions
- Line your slow cooker with a liner or parchment for easy cleanup.

- Let cool completely (at room temp or in the fridge).
- Store in an airtight container.
- Enjoy with a glass of sweet tea or a cup of dark coffee.
Notes
Use real butter for flavor, and consider different colored wafers for holidays. Roasting the peanuts or using salted mini pretzels can enhance flavor.
