  • “I absolutely love this recipe!As a person who works full time and is always making something for bake sales for my daughter’s school, it is extremely easy to make and tasty.I have a rather small crockpot and this is a generous recipe, but it will still work if you stir it about midway through cooking.”

  • “This recipe is sooo easy and VERY GOOD.Everyone just LOVED it! We thought it tasted like a snikers bar without the carmel.Wonderful!”

  • “I made these before Christmas, using a cookie scoop.When I realized the candies were way too big, I put them all back into the crockpot until they were melted, then used a small spoon to drop the candy onto waxed paper.Very tasty, and this recipe makes a huge batch.”

  • “Very good easy recipe, took it to work everyone wanted the recipe.I’ve also left out the nuts and added toasted coconut just before removing from the crockpot and made it with rice crisp cereal.Thanks for posting this delicious recipe.”

  • “great recipe – I also make varieties, changing nuts, adding coconut and using peanut butter chips and chocolate chips.Love it and easy to do.”

  • “Thanks for posting. I lost this recipe, and found it again here. We often make this at work, since we are using a crock pot,and then we all get to take some home. I also use pecan and almonds.”

  • “Great, yummy, ultra-easy candy.I’ve made it twice so far and not one bit has been wasted.Thanks so much!!I love the combo of chocolates in the recipe!”

  • “I love this recipe! I made it last year, it didn’t take me long, made lots, and my picky family LOVED it. I plan to do it again this year for gifts.”

  • “This was really good and really easy.I used chocolate chips and white chocolate chips.Then 4 ounces of a really good dark chocolate bar.It was really good, and so easy.((1 bag chocolate chips, 2 bags white choc chips)) I tried it with caramel once I didn’t like it.”

  • “I am always looking for “easy” recipes that hold together well so I can send these goods out to our Soldiers in care packages. This recipe is exceptional for this! I’m going to be sending out four packages from Soldiers I either adopted or co-adopted this month at www.soldiersangels.orgI am going to also send some coffee and in a separate baggy (double wrapped) a toothbrush and toothpaste and hand wipe! Think that will give them a really nice treat that way! Love being able to help those who do so much for us! This recipe is helping me do that. It’s delicious and easy!”

  • “Made this first time this year for my family Christmas get together.Found it wonderful and easy.Few changes I made, used lightly salted peanuts as someone else had mentioned, and I used Chocolate Almond Bark instead of the white.The white seemed to make my candies have a washed out color, and I wanted that deep brown.As someone else mentioned, this makes ALOT!Did a 2/3rd size reciepe and I got 76 candies out of it.”

  • “So simple to prepare.I forgot to rate this last Christmas.we gave them out on our holiday trays and they were a hit.Thanksfor sharing with us.”

  • “I like to spoon this mixtureover mini candy bars and let it set up as a kind of candy stuffed peanut cluster for extra oomph. Kind of reminiscent of the old Bun candy bars. Mini Reese’s cups, mini Snickers, Milky Way, 3 Musketeer, Rolo’s, Vanilla Cream Drops, mini cookies, in the center of a peanut cluster. Such a simple thing to do, and it seems like a no-brainer, but when you do it, people marvel.”

  • “I have a girl friend who is allergic to peanuts. She had been craving, being pregnant, a chocolatey candy. I came across this and thought.. what would happen if I replaced the peanuts with dates, raisins, and mini pretzels. Well, needless to say IT WORKED OUT GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you for a perfect solution and versatile recipe!”

  • “Made these to take to work and everyone loved them”

  • “I too LOVE this recipe. I am using it for the 2nd yr in a row for my Christmas candies. It is SO good & makes a ton. The ingredients can get a little pricey, but it’s cheap compared to what I would spend on gifts for the same people. I could NOT find almond bark this year…don’t know why…it’s usually not a problem. So, instead I used 3 C Semi-sweet choc chips, 2 C white choc chips, 1 4oz bar of Ghirardelli Premium white baking bar, & 1 C of milk choc chip. Oh, I also used 2 16oz jars of lightly salted peanuts instead of 1 salt & 1 not. Still turned out super yummy & set up nicely. Thx for a wonderfully easy candy recipe that tastes wonderfully!”

  • “I love this recipe, thanks for posting. I didn’t have German chocolate so I used ½ cup milk chocolate chips instead and it turned out great. Also to make it a little more interesting I spooned it over unwrapped Hersey Caramel Kisses. My whole family loved it.”

  • “I’m so excited to have found this recipe! I’m not well this Christmas, the pain and fatigue are nearly unbearable. Despite how I feel, I really badly wanted to still show up with treats for my family because I wasn’t able to shop this year or do the typical baking I love to do. This recipe is the answer! It’s Christmas Day 2009 and right now I have it in the Crockpot while I am resting my body, refreshing and recuperating to gear up for the next batch of family activities. It will feel so good to show up with something my family of chocolate and nut lovers will appreciate yet it didn’t break me physically! Thank you so much to the poster and to all the reviewers for your tips and advice, you are saving my Christmas and my energy! I haven’t tasted it yet but I have faith, I used almonds to avoid peanuts due to a nephew with allergies but I anticipate it’s going to be a big hit and I feel good knowing I’m contributing something!!! Merry Christmas!”

  • “Very Easy Recipe for the impact it has!Everyone at our family get together loved it!It was kind of embarrassing getting so many complements when it’s just a matter of combining some ingredients and heating them in the crockpot.I will definitely be cooking this again!”

  • “This was such an incredibly easy candy to put together – all in an amazing FIVE minute prep time.I did not have the full two pounds of white chocolate (too expensive), so I substituted one pound of white chocolate and one 10oz bag of semisweet/white swirreled chips.This recipe will DEFINITELY be a repeat in this household – thank you Elizabeth!”
