What a mess!! I followed the recipe exactly and ended up with a very expensive mess!! My peanuts burned, the chocolate seized and turned gritty. Now that I have read all the other reviews, I realize that 3 hours was entirely too long before checking. I think I should have checked at about an hour or so. I really want to try this again but the ingredients are just too expensive to have it wind up in the garbage can again. I had a friend tell me to put the peanuts on top of the chocolate. Most everyone I asked said they had never let theirs cook for 3 hrs; think that was probably the biggest mistake of all.

Read quite a few reviews before preparing and took advice of checking slow cooker. Mine was done in abut 75-90 minutes. Even halving the recipe and using mini liners I still wound up with 4 dozen! Hopefully mom likes em as they are part of her Mother's Day gift. Thanks Trisha.

I have made this twice now and have gotten rave reviews both times. Yes, different brands of crockpots heat at different temps. I have the original Rival Crockpot and it only takes 2 hrs on low for mine to melt beautifully, but I do not add the peanuts at the beginning. Once the choc is melted, I measure out half and add the peanuts to that, so I have half plain choc and half w/nuts. I use the plain half to fill my chocolate lollipop molds for whatever occasion I need, and the nut half I put into the mini muffin papers. The SECOND time I made this, I upped the chocolate factor by doubling the chips and the German choc, but keeping the same amount of almond bark. It was better than ever! Much more chocolate flavor. Everyone at the party couldn't stop talking about it. Thanks, Trisha, for making me a hero! :D

I made this just now and after about an hour I checked it and all the chocolate was melted and peanuts were perfect. I also used half peanuts and half cashews. I think next time I'm going to use less white almond bark and use special dark chocolate instead if semi sweet chocolate chips. This recipe makes a lot of candy. If you're making this for a small family you should half the recipe. My co workers will be getting some of this Monday. This was a simple recipe. Will most definitely make it again. TIP: use a crock pot liner. I did. Thank you Trisha. I love your show..

There could be so many variations with this recipe...

Mint extract for a yummy chocolate mint candies
Peanut butter chips
Special dark chocolate instead of semi sweet
Coconut extract
Peppermint extract and crushed candy cane around Christmas time
Peppermint extract and crushed candy canes using ALL white almond bark.

I have made this several times and it is awesome! I've done simple variations: drizzled melted caramel on top with slivered almonds, toasted coconut, or chopped mixed nuts. I'm called the "Candy Lady" where I volunteer! Thank you, Trisha, this is a keeper. I have no idea why others are having issues. I even halved all ingredients and the cooking time and it makes a ton.

I did this. It was easy. The only problem is to know the temperature of your slow cooker. i did not need all three hours. This was my second time. The first time, I left it for 3 hours and it burned, have to throw it out, what a waste. But the second time, I was more mindful and it was easy and delicious. Thank you Tricia Yearwood.

This dessert looked taste and easy. However, as others have noted it does not work. After having read the reviews, I was careful to check it every hour. At no time did the ingredients melt completely like it showed on the episode. I did not smell any burning. So, after 3 hours I stirred it and found the nuts to be somewhat burned and the concoction rather dry. It was boiling on the bottom, but benign on the surface. I spooned it into the cups and the result was a lumpy, dry candy. It tasted OK, but was not the smooth confection one it lead to believe.

I see others have questioned the temperature of their cookers. I also wondered if this varies from brand to brand. I think it would be a good idea for this recipe to contain cautions as to temperature and ways to test this prior to making the candy. Chocolate and nuts are quite expensive, so I won't be making this candy again. A real disappointment!!
