When I think about what I like in a candy, it usually involves chocolate and nuts, chewy and crunchy, sweet and salty. I also really love toffee. Lucky for me there is really not much I don’t like. And even luckier for me, these little clusters of goodness have it all! Recently I shared with you about my cousin Charlotte. Thankfully she shared this recipe with me! It really couldn’t get much easier either. It makes a lot of these chocolatey and nutty packages, so it’s great for giving as gifts or sharing at the office. And not to worry, if there are still leftovers… they freeze well too. Enjoy!
2 small jars (16 oz each) dry roasted peanuts (1 salted, 1 unsalted)
3 lbs or blocks of white almond bark, vanilla Candiquick or vanilla candy coating, chopped into small pieces
1/2 lb Bakers semi-sweet chocolate, chopped into small pieces
1 bag Heath chips
1 bag Milk chocolate chips
1 bag Semi sweet chocolate chips
*Also a full size crockpot, a sturdy spoon and a strong arm 😉
Put everything in the crockpot on low. Stir often. When all is melted and no more dashes of white or dark spots of chocolate can be seen (about an hour), spoon in globs on wax or parchment paper until it hardens (a couple more hours).
It makes a vat full, so be prepared to share or freeze the clusters and bring them out in batches. They will last a few months in the freezer.
Toggles looks so tempting..Sadie
Thank you Parul:) They are really good!
Sorry typo error I wrote toffee not toggles?
Lol! I thought maybe they are called something else too… I was about to do some research:)
???
Good joke?
I’m over here drooling Sadie ??

Looks delicious. I love the mix of peanuts and chocolate, sweet and salty!
Just meant to be! 😉
Oh ya! Looks really good. Save one for Zip.
You got it!
A perfect combination! I will most definitely want to make these … soon! And I’m sure all that chocolate toffee goodness must smell heavenly! (sigh) 😀
It was a good day;)
😀
One of the best chocolate’s I have ever had. And great pictures. I would say that eating 5 is about the right number… That’s if you’re not too hungry…
Although one might ruin their dinner 😉
True
These look amazing! I cant believe it is in the crock pot! I have to try this! yummm. tomorrow we are making these!
That’s great! You won’t be disappointed! ?
I pinned it and will get it moving in the morning. Really I cant wait. thanks for sharing this!

Can I gobble all of them up please??! They look so good Sadie! They are very similar to Rocky Road bites – something they have back in the UK. Can I ask you what Heath chips are?
Thanks Roberta:) Heath Bars are chocolate covered toffee bars, you can buy them smashed by the bag for baking.
Ahh thanks for explaining. Will keep that in mind 🙂 x
If crushing your own, it’s an 8 oz bag (just checked). 🙂
Thanks 🙂
Mmmm….they look gorgeous!
Thank you:)
These look delicious Sadie!

Thank you! ?
You’re welcome Sadie 🙂
Update: after having actually eaten this little goodie I can say that all the drooling on your keyboards won’t be in vain. Really good!
5??? Five would show great strength of character.
So glad you liked them! I should have sent some home with you!
Mmmm! These look so good Sadie! Yum! 🙂
Thank you! I don’t know how I stopped following you, but that explains why you weren’t coming up on my reader! 😉 can’t wait to check out your newest projects!
That’s okay! It just came up as a new follower on notifications. clicked to see it and it was you lol! 🙂 It also said I wasn’t following you so I reclicked follow. Still said I wasn’t following you so it took me a few attempts but I think I am back following you? Very strange. Hope it’s not done it to any others 🙁 Apparently I have now only been following you for 15 hours, which makes no sense lol!) x
I know, it is strange! But it has happened to me before… ?
Glad we’ve reconnected!
This is exactly the kind of stuff I can’t leave laying around the house…too tempting! These were very good Sadie, thanks for sharing with us ?
Thanks Annie;) Agreed, it dangerous!
These look so enticing! I love the combination of nuts and chocolates. Send me some! 😀
? Thank you Jhuls! They’re really great. I’m so thankful my cousin shared this recipe with me!
