Notes
Serving Size: about 20 2-inch candies
Storage:
- To Store: Store your candy in an airtight container in the refrigerator for a few weeks or slightly less time at room temperature.
- If you’re decorating your candy with holiday sprinkles, make sure to add them while the clusters are still melted and warm. This will ensure the sprinkles stick to the chocolate as it hardens.
- You can scoop your candy clusters into mini mini muffin liners instead of onto parchment paper. Then arrange your candy in a pretty presentation on a dessert platter among the cookies and other treats.
- Fill a cookie tin or cellophane bag with your crock pot candy and gift it as a gift for the holidays.
- You can drizzle your cooked candy with some caramel to make it extra special.
