Crock Pot Chocolate Cherry Nut Cups

Crock Pot Chocolate Cherry Nut Cups

Making fun homemade Christmas candy is one of my favorite things to do over the holiday season. These Crock Pot Cherry Nut Chocolate Cups are so easy to make and you can use any combination of dried fruits and nuts that you like as the filling.

I used dried cherries, macadamia nuts, pumpkin seeds and roasted peanuts. Feel free to use whatever combination of your favorite dried fruit and nuts you’d like.

Welcome to Day 5 of Christmas Week. This annual event was started in 2012, and is hosted by Kim of Cravings of a Lunatic. This year we have over 35 bloggers sharing festive sweet recipes for the event.

For this recipe, I used my little mini 2-quart crock pot which was the perfect size for one batch but it will also work fine if you are planning to double the recipe.  There was more than enough room left in the 2-quart crock pot for a 2-pound block of Almond Bark.
