How to make Crock Pot Nut Clusters
- Turn slow cooker on high and add all the ingredients into the slow cooker.
- Cook on high for 45 minutes (don’t peek or stir) during that time.

- When 1 hour is up, take off lid and stir everything together. Keep stirring until all the chocolate is melted.
- Spoon mixture into mini muffin liners (to make a little nut cup) or on a baking sheet lined with wax paper (to make them into cluster shapes).

We used lightly salted peanuts for this recipe. You can also add other mixins like dried fruit, crushed peppermint candies or even crushed pretzels.

Did You Make This Recipe?We’d love to hear your thoughts! Leave a review or a question in the comment section below the post.
We’ve been doing these for years. We don’t use the muffin liners, but just dump little spoonfuls on wax paper. No raisins, though–we’re not dried fruit lovers around here.
Is there anyway I can pin this for my pinterest?

Could you make a smaller batch of this?
I like nut clusters very much!!
Wow, this makes a lot. Perfect for gifts for the neighborhood. Pinning!
Oh yea I am trying this!!!
That looks AMAZING!!! I wonder how it would taste to add some crushed peppermint in there, too???

Yes, just divide it in half or even thirds and it should be fine. May not need to melt it in the slow cooker as long, so watch it closely!! 🙂
We think crushed peppermint would be delicious!! -The Sisters
Yummy!!
Thanks for linking to a Round Tuit!
Hope you have a fabulous week!
These look so good and would be a great treat to make for the holidays!
These sound so good and simple! Perfect for Christmas.
Oh my, that’s a lot of chocolate! Not a fan of raisins, so I would just make it like you show. Might need a double batch, though, we love nuts and chocolate around here!
Thank you! I’ll be making these for our family cookie/candy exchange this year.
I love your blog by the way!!!!! I’ve found some great recipes that our now made all of the time.
Can you tell me what size Hershey Bars you used?
What size Hershey bar?
The Hershey bars are 1.55 ounces each.
I wonder how you could add caramel to these…any idea
Can you make these ahead of time and freeze for later use? Perfect addition for my Christmas sweets. Thank you for the recipe.
You could keep them in an airtight container in a cool dry place and they will be just fine.
Looks yummy! Does it matter if the nuts are plain or salted?
We used dry roasted peanuts that are lightly salted.
