Crockpot Candy
This Crockpot Candy recipe is great for the holidays. I honestly had no idea it was so easy.
It’s 4 ingredients, the slow cooker does everything for you, and it’s delicious. And I’m not gonna lie, I can’t stop eating it! It is seriously addictive. I crave it all year long.
The recipe only calls for peanuts but you can use a mixture of peanuts and pecans. I stuck with only peanuts, my favorite. Also, I halved the batch and got a ton (as you can see from the picture below) so if you make a full batch, be ready to eat a lot of peanuts!
(PS. Almond bark is found in the baking aisle of your grocery store, close to all the baking chocolates. Or you can order it online.)
Ingredients
2 pound white almond bark
4 ounces German chocolate bar
12 ounce bag semisweet chocolate chips
24 ounces dry roasted peanuts
Instructions
Add all ingredients to slow cooker. Let cook on low for 1 hour without messing with it. After an hour, stir to combine everything. Allow to cook for another hour, stirring every 15 minutes.
Drop spoonfuls of the candy onto wax paper and allow to cool completely.

Another Graduation Weekend
This weekend was all about family. Although sadly, there was a funeral, we also celebrated an amazing young man in our family, Steve Perkins. Truly blessed and thankful to be asked to be the mistress of ceremony at my cousin’s graduation luncheon! Congratulations and much love to Steve, who graduated Magna Cum Laude with a full ride scholarship to West Point.
