Chocolate Covered Raisins in a Crockpot
This easy crockpot recipe will have your home smelling divine and your snack table filled with delicious treats. It’s perfect for gatherings, movie nights, or just a cozy evening at home.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup of raisins
- 2 cups of semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup of white chocolate chips (optional)
- 1/4 cup of rum (or rum extract for a non-alcoholic version)
- 1/2 cup of chopped nuts (walnuts or almonds work well)
- Sea salt for sprinkling (optional)
Instructions:
- Start by preparing your ingredients. Measure out 1 cup of raisins and place them in your crockpot.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the semi-sweet and white chocolate chips. This will create a rich, creamy texture for your candy.
- Pour the chocolate chip mixture over the raisins in the crockpot. Make sure all the raisins are well-coated.
- Add in the rum to the crockpot, stirring gently to ensure that all ingredients are thoroughly mixed. This will add a delightful flavor kick!
- Cover the crockpot and cook on low heat for 2 hours. Stir occasionally to prevent the chocolate from burning and ensure even melting.
- Once the chocolate is completely melted and everything is well combined, add in your chopped nuts. Stir until they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
- After everything is nice and melded together, scoop out spoonfuls of the mixture onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. You can shape them into clusters or leave them as dollops.
- If desired, sprinkle a bit of sea salt on top for contrast and flavor.
- Let the candy sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes to 1 hour, or until they are set. You can also place them in the refrigerator to speed up the process.
- Once set, enjoy your homemade chocolate-covered raisins! Store any leftovers in an airtight container, but we doubt there will be any left!
This delightful treat combines the sweetness of raisins with rich chocolate and a hint of rum, making it a perfect snack for any occasion. Celebrate National Chocolate Covered Raisin Day with this fun and easy recipe!
