Christmas Candy Recipe

Homemade Christmas candy is so easy to make in the crock pot.

Melt some chocolate and add some fun stuff.

I used dried cherries, macadamia nuts, pumpkin seeds, and roasted peanuts for this chocolate nut cup recipe.

Feel free to use whatever combination of your favorite dried fruit and nuts you'd like.

What size crock pot to make candy?

For this recipe, I used my little mini 2-quart crock pot which was the perfect size for one batch of candy. 

The 2-quart crock pot will also work fine if you are planning to double the candy recipe.

There was more than enough room left in the 2-quart crock pot for a 2 blocks of Almond Bark. 

How to make Crock Pot Chocolate Cherry Nut Cups

• 20 oz block chocolate candy bark
• dried cherries
• roasted peanuts
• macadamia nuts
• pumpkin seeds
• mini paper candy cups

1. In a small crock pot melt the chocolate bark on low stirring occasionally.
2. Place mini candy cup papers on a baking sheet or in a mini muffin pan.
3. Fill cups halfway with any combination of dried cherries and nuts that you'd like.
4. Using a small cookie dough scoop carefully fill the paper candy cup with chocolate bark.
5. Lightly tap the baking sheet or mini muffin pan on the counter to help the chocolate settle around the cranberries and nuts.
6. If making a combination of flavors top each candy cup with the corresponding dried fruit and nuts used.
7. Set aside to harden at least an hour.
8. Package in fun Christmas treat bags.
