This time of year, I’m all about sweets. If I’m going to someone’s house, I’m bringing dessert. But, this time of year, I’m also super busy. So I really love this slow cooker candy recipe. It’s simple, requires little effort, and tastes incredible.

I wanted to change up the crunch factor when I was making it last weekend, so I added Golden Crisps cereal. What a great idea! Everyone I shared the slow cooker candy with loved it, so I’m getting ready to make a new batch (because this one is completely gone!).

Slow Cooker Candy Ingredients:

• 1 bag (12 oz.) of milk chocolate chips
• 1 bag (12 oz.) of bittersweet chocolate chips
• 1.5 bags (24 oz.) of white candy melts
• 2 cups Golden Crisp cereal
• Handful of white candy melts (for the topping)

How To Make Slow Cooker Candy:

Put the milk chocolate chips, bittersweet chocolate chips, and white candy melts in the slow cooker on low for 1.5 hours.

The chocolate should be completely melted by then, but, if it’s not, leave it a little longer and keep checking on it. Stir to combine the chocolates.

Then, turn off the slow cooker, add in the cereal, and stir until everything is combined.

Fill a mini muffin pan with cupcake wrappers.

Put a large spoonful of the slow cooker candy mix into each wrapper. Fill the wrappers to the top and try to flatten the tops.

Put them in the fridge until they cool, about twenty minutes.

Now it’s time to decorate.

Melt a handful of candy melts in the microwave, according to the package. If you’ve never used candy melts before, check out our tips for using candy melts post.

Scoop the melted white candy melts into a plastic bag. Cut a small piece from the corner of the bag.

Pipe music notes, or any decorations you want, on to the tops of the chocolate. Put them in the fridge to cool completely.
