Scale
Main Ingredients
- 2 cups Chocolate Chips (semi-sweet or dark chocolate)
- 1 cup Peanut Butter (high-quality for best results)
- 1 cup Chopped Nuts (pecans, almonds, or any preferred nuts)
- 1 cup Dried Fruit (cranberries or raisins for color and tartness)
- 2 cups Mini Marshmallows
Instructions
- Prepare Crockpot: Lightly grease the inside of your crockpot with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking and facilitate easy cleanup.
- Melt Chocolate and Peanut Butter: Add chocolate chips and peanut butter to the crockpot. Set it on low heat and stir occasionally until the mixture is smooth and fully melted.
- Add Nuts and Dried Fruit: Stir in chopped nuts and dried fruit into the melted chocolate and peanut butter mixture ensuring even distribution.
- Fold in Marshmallows: Gently fold the mini marshmallows into the mixture to avoid breaking them up, which adds softness and texture.
- Refrigerate to Set: Spread the mixture evenly into a lined baking pan. Refrigerate for 1 to 2 hours until firm and set.
- Serve: Cut the set candy into bite-sized squares or bars and serve chilled.

- Use high-quality peanut butter for the best creamy flavor.
- If you prefer dairy-free, opt for dairy-free chocolate chips and marshmallows.
- Feel free to substitute nuts and dried fruit based on personal preference or availability.
- Ensure the crockpot is on low heat to gently melt the chocolate without burning.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
