This Crockpot Turtle Candy has an ooey-gooey Rolo candy center that's hidden with chocolate-covered pecans, sea salt, and sprinkles! An easy holiday recipe that takes just 10 minutes to prep!

Ingredients  


Instructions

  • To a 4 or 6-quart crockpot, add the pecans, almond bark, chocolate, chocolate chips, and salt. Do not stir together. Cook on low for 1 hour.
    32 ounces pecan halves, 32 ounces chocolate almond bark1, 4 ounces bittersweet chocolate, 12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips, ½ teaspoon salt
  • After 1 hour has passed stir the ingredients and cook on low for an addition 30 to 45 minutes and stir again. The chocolate and bark should be fully melted at this point, turn off the slow cooker.
  • Place two long strips of wax paper on a clean and level surface. Place unwrapped Rolo candies about 3 inches apart on the wax paper.
    75 Rolo candies
  • Use a tablespoon to scoop out mounds of the chocolate-coated pecans and distribute them over the top of the Rolos. Sprinkle them with sea salt and sprinkles if desired. Allow to fully set before enjoying or packaging up.
    sea salt, sprinkles

Notes

  1. If you cannot find almond bark, substitute it with white chocolate and add 1 tablespoon of shortening.
  2. Crockpot Candy will last up to 2 to 3 weeks in an airtight container and stored in a cool, dark place. You can also freeze it, and it’ll stay good for up to 6 months
  3. Crockpot Candy Variations:
    • I like using round colored sprinkles during the holiday season to make this Slow Cooker Candy look extra festive (for instance, try orange and black for Halloween and green and red for Christmas!).
    • You could also use milk chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet. Milk and dark chocolate blend really well!
    • You can use any nut you’d like or if you’re looking to avoid nuts altogether, try using Chex or Rice Krispies cereals.
    • People also love adding a cup of craisins to the mix for added flavor and texture.
