Helpful Tips to make White Chocolate Peppermint Crockpot Candy:
- I like to use a mix of white chocolate chips and melting chocolate wafers. The latest are creamier, therefore they give the candy that velvety texture. If you can’t get your hands on melting chocolate wafers (aka candy melts), do NOT substitute with chocolate chips, but rather use same amount of a good quality white chocolate bar. Keep in mind, you need good white chocolate for this recipe to taste amazing!
- Do NOT try to take a shortcut and cook the candy on High, the recipe doesn’t take long to make on the Low setting. If you cook it on high, chances that some of the chocolate will burn are very high.
- You can substitute some of the nuts if you are allergic or just don’t like some.
- Yes, you can make this recipe without the peppermint candies, if you are not a fan.
- Very important: don’t forget to stir, this will ensure uniform cooking.
What you will need to make White Chocolate Peppermint Crockpot Candy:
- Slow Cooker – the slow cooker is almost my most used kitchen gadget, especially during fall/winter! It’s just so convenient, and lets face it, it makes comfort food taste even better!
- White Chocolate Chips – I buy them in bulk, I always have some on hand.
- White Chocolate Melting Wafers – These are of high quality, creamy and specifically designed for melting and candy making.
Enjoy!
With love from our simple kitchen to yours.

I can hardly wait to try this recipe.
do you use salted nuts?
Is it possible to use pretzels instead of nuts, I'm allergic.
Such a great holiday treat, and its quite easy to make!
This is such an easy and delicious recipe…it’s addictive! My husband is like a kid in the candy store over it. We like it with coarse sea salt lightly sprinkled over it at the same time as the sanding sugar.
