Alright, so I decided to give this “crock pot Christmas crack” thing a try. I kept seeing it pop up everywhere, and with the holidays around, I figured, why not?
First, I gathered all the stuff I needed. This was pretty easy, just a bunch of different chocolates, some peanuts, and pretzels. I grabbed my trusty crock pot—this thing has seen me through countless chili nights and pot roasts.
Getting Started
I started by dumping a bag of semi-sweet chocolate chips into the pot. Then, I added some white almond bark. I broke it up into smaller pieces so it would melt easier. On top of that went a bag of peanut butter chips. I love peanut butter, so I was pretty generous with these.

Layering It Up
Next, I added a big scoop of dry roasted peanuts. I made sure they were salted because that sweet and salty combo is the best. After the peanuts, I tossed in a bunch of mini pretzel twists. The idea was to have a bit of crunch in every bite.
Melting Everything
I set the crock pot to low. The key here is to let everything melt slowly. It took a while—like, a couple of hours. I’d peek in and give it a little stir every now and then. Patience is important because you don’t want to burn the chocolate. I’ve done that before, and trust me, it’s not fun.
The Final Touches
Once everything was melted and smooth, I got a big baking sheet and lined it with parchment paper. Then, I carefully poured the melted mixture onto the sheet, spreading it out evenly with a spatula. I wanted to make it look somewhat professional, but let’s be honest, I was mostly focused on not burning myself.
Cooling and Breaking
I let it cool at room temperature for a bit, and then I stuck it in the fridge to harden completely. This took another couple of hours. Once it was solid, I took it out and started breaking it into pieces—hence the name “crack.”
The Result
The end result was pretty darn good. It’s a mix of sweet, salty, crunchy, and smooth. I shared some with my neighbors, and they were all raving about it. A few even asked for the recipe, which I was more than happy to share. I’m thinking this might become a new holiday tradition for me. It’s simple, delicious, and everyone seems to love it.
All in all, making crock pot Christmas crack was a success. It’s a great treat to have around during the holidays, and it’s so easy to make. If you’re looking for something to bring to a party or just want to indulge a little, I definitely recommend giving this a try.
