How to Make Halloween Crockpot Candy
- Place white chocolate melting wafers in the base of your crockpot. Add peanuts on top. Cover and cook on low for 1 hour, stirring once halfway. (Keep an eye on it, as it may melt faster depending on your crockpot.)
- While the chocolate melts, line one or two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Once melted, allow the mixture to cool for 2–3 minutes, then gently stir in the Reese’s pieces. (They may crackle a bit from the heat—this is normal!)
- Using a 3-tablespoon cookie scoop, portion candy onto prepared baking sheets, leaving space between each cluster.
- Sprinkle immediately with Halloween sprinkles and edible eyeballs, if using.
- Refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until set.
Recipe Tips & Tricks
- Use melting wafers instead of white chocolate chips for smoother melting.
- Don’t overheat – check chocolate after 45 minutes to avoid scorching.
- For extra flavor, add a pinch of sea salt on top before chilling.
- Make smaller or larger clusters depending on your serving needs.

- Nut-free version: Swap peanuts for pretzels or crushed graham crackers.
- Chocolate swap: Use milk or dark chocolate wafers instead of white.
