Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips
  • 1 cup butterscotch chips
  • 1 cup candy corn
  • 1 cup mini marshmallows

Optional Mix-ins

  • 1/2 cup chopped nuts or pretzels (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons peanut butter (for peanut butter twist, optional)
  • Pinch of cinnamon or cayenne pepper (for spicy kick, optional)
  • 1/4 cup dried cranberries or chopped candied orange peel (for fruit mix-ins, optional)
  • Butter or cooking spray (for greasing crockpot)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Crockpot: Plug in your crockpot and lightly grease the inside with butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking. Having it ready before adding ingredients makes the process smooth and mess-free.
  2. Add the Chocolate and Butterscotch Chips: Pour the chocolate, white chocolate, and butterscotch chips into the crockpot. Close the lid and set it on low heat. Allow the chips to melt slowly for about 1 to 1.5 hours, stirring every 15 minutes to keep the mixture smooth.
  3. Mix in Candy Corn and Marshmallows: Once the chips have melted into a velvety base, gently fold in the candy corn and mini marshmallows. These add fun color as well as sweet, chewy textures that elevate the candy’s festive flair.
  4. Add Optional Mix-ins: If you decided on nuts, pretzels, or any other variation ingredients, now is the time to stir them in. Make sure they are evenly distributed to give each bite a delightful crunch or flavor burst.
  5. Let It Set and Serve: Turn off the crockpot and carefully spread the candy mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Chill it in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes or until firm. Cut into bite-sized pieces and enjoy your homemade Halloween Crockpot Candy!

Notes

  • Low and Slow: Don’t rush the melting process—slow heat keeps the chocolate smooth and silky.
  • Stir Often: Regular stirring prevents burning and helps the candy blend perfectly.
  • Use Fresh Ingredients: Always choose good-quality chips and fresh additions for the best flavor.
  • Prep Utensils Ahead: Have spatulas, parchment paper, and serving dishes ready to go before melting starts.
  • Experiment with Color: Add festive sprinkles or colored sugar for extra Halloween spirit!
