Chocolate, salty, and sweet! This Chocolate Crockpot Candy with M&Ms is so crunchy and packed with DELICIOUS flavor! Here’s what you need to know to make this Crockpot Christmas Candy Recipe with Pretzels!

Both almond barks added to crockpot

First, add both the chocolate and vanilla almond barks to a crockpot.

Melted almonds and peanuts mixed in crockpot

Next, use a cookie scoop (I like the 3 tablespoon scoop) to scoop the Christmas Candy onto parchment paper. (Make sure you have the parchment paper on a flat surface!)

How do you store Crockpot Candy?

Store your Christmas Crockpot Candy in an airtight container and also in a cool, dry place! A warmer area may cause the chocolate to begin melting. I store mine in an airtight container on the counter.

Can you freeze Crockpot Candy?

Yes, absolutely! Once your M&M Crockpot Christmas Candy has set, store them in a freezer-safe bag or container. Then just set them at room temperature to thaw before you’re ready to serve them!
