Ingredients
  

  • 2 pounds white chocolate coarsely chopped
  • 28 ounces dry roasted peanuts
  • 1 12 ounce bag semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1 4 ounce bar German sweet chocolate, broken into pieces

Equipment

  • Crock Pot / Slow Cooker

  • Baking sheet (optional, for cooling)
  • Parchment paper or silicone mat
  • Airtight container (for storage)

Method
 

  1. Add the chopped white chocolate to the bottom of your Crock Pot.
    A top-down view shows coarsely chopped white chocolate chunks placed at the bottom of a black crock pot sitting on a clean white marble countertop. The white chocolate is the base layer for this dessert recipe and is ready to melt slowly, setting the foundation for a rich and creamy chocolate mixture.
  2. Layer in the semisweet chocolate chips and German sweet chocolate pieces.
    This image captures semisweet chocolate chips and broken pieces of German sweet chocolate layered over white chocolate inside a black crock pot. All three types of chocolate are clearly visible from the top view. The contrasting textures and colors signal the beginning of a luscious, deeply flavored chocolate blend ready to melt evenly.
  3. Pour the dry roasted peanuts evenly over the chocolate layers—do not stir yet.
    Dry roasted peanuts are shown being poured evenly over the layered white, semisweet, and German sweet chocolate inside a black crock pot. The nuts rest visibly on top of the chocolate, untouched by any stirring. This step ensures that the peanuts get evenly coated during the melting process, providing crunch in every bite.
  4. Cover the Crock Pot with the lid and cook on low for 2 hours.
    A black crock pot is covered with its lid and placed on a white marble countertop, slowly melting the layers of white and semisweet chocolate along with dry roasted peanuts inside. This slow cooking process on low heat helps the ingredients blend thoroughly, creating a smooth and creamy base for the clusters.
  5. After 2 hours, stir everything well until completely melted and smooth.
    A silver spoon stirs the fully melted mixture of white chocolate, semisweet chocolate, German sweet chocolate, and roasted peanuts inside a black crock pot. The texture is creamy, rich, and smooth, with every peanut evenly coated in chocolate. This is a crucial step that ensures the consistency is perfect for scooping.
  6. Use a spoon to scoop small clusters onto parchment-lined baking sheets.
    A spoon is being used to scoop small mounds of the chocolate and peanut mixture onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Each cluster is carefully placed to avoid sticking, and the melted chocolate glistens under the light. The tray rests on a clean white marble surface, ready for cooling.
  7. Let the clusters cool at room temperature or refrigerate for quicker setting.
  8. Once hardened, store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
