Ingredients

• 12 oz white chocolate chips

• 8 oz milk chocolate chips

• 1 cup peanut butter (creamy or chunky)

• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

• 1 cup pastel candy-coated chocolate eggs (like mini M&M’s or Cadbury eggs)

Optional toppings:

How to Make Slow Cooker Easter Candy

1. Prepare the Slow Cooker

Lightly spray the inside of a 4–6 quart slow cooker with nonstick spray or line it with parchment paper.

This helps prevent sticking and makes cleanup much easier.

2. Combine the Chocolate and Peanut Butter

Add the following to the slow cooker:

• white chocolate chips

• milk chocolate chips

• peanut butter

• sweetened condensed milk

Stir gently. The mixture may look lumpy at first — this is normal.

3. Melt on Low

Cover and cook on LOW heat for 90–120 minutes, stirring every 20–30 minutes.

The mixture should become smooth, thick, and creamy.

4. Add Flavor

Once melted, stir in the vanilla extract.

Taste the mixture and add a small pinch of salt if you want to balance the sweetness.

5. Pour and Decorate

Line an 8×8-inch pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

Pour the candy mixture into the pan and spread evenly.

Sprinkle the pastel candy-coated eggs over the top and gently press so they stick.

Add optional toppings like:

 festive sprinkles
 chopped nuts
 coconut flakes

6. Chill and Set

Refrigerate for 1–2 hours until the candy is firm.

Once set, cut into squares or break into rustic bite-size clusters.

7. Serve

Serve chilled or at room temperature for a soft, creamy texture.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
