I, too, was a bit worried because of the negative reviews. Forged ahead anyway. My grocery store didn't have almond so I used vanilla. I never smelled peanuts but three hours was just perfect. I stirred it all together, nothing at all was burned to my crockpot, piece of cake. It made *a lot* of candies ( I ended up with over 60, so this would be good to make for a crowd. I could easily halve this recipe and use my smaller crockpot, and put less in mini muffin cups, as I was satisfied after eating half of one! Ignore the negative reviews, and just know your crockpot.

This turned out great! I was skeptical at first with all of the negative reviews. The 3 hours were just perfect. I would use less peanuts next time. The candy is rich, but a smooth chocolate taste. It made about 60 candies. I will use mini liners next time. Can't wait to try different versions.

How difficult can this be?? Put everything in, and forget about it. I started checking after 2 hours. The chocolate burned, nothing melted together. Thank goodness I test drove this before serving it at Easter brunch. This was an expensive flop!

I loved this recipe!!! Like any cooking utensil, pot, stove, oven or Crock Pot, you have to know yours. If it over cooks cut back on the time and likewise if it under cooks you need to add time. My crock pot under cooks so I never smelled the peanuts cooking but after the 3 hours everything was melted so I proceeded and used mini cupcake papers (think I filled over 50. They were perfect bite size pieces. Everyone wanted the recipe. If your doing this for the first time and start to smell the peanuts check the crock pot and see if everything is melted, if it is go on and stir it up. If it is not quite ready give it a little more time and then check it again. Like Emeril says "It's not rocket science."

I attempted to make this candy @ Christmas and it was a total failure. The peanuts and melted chocolate burned badly on the bottom of the crockpot. Yearwood said on her cooking show featuring this recipe to not worry about the burned smell, so I didn't. Big mistake.

The ingredients, added up, are too expensive for this type of mistake.

I read a lot of the reviews, reviewed the saved show that featured this recipe, followed the instructions to a "t" and I am so disappointed and upset that I wasted my money. I was so excited to make this and sell for my church. My crockpot is the correct size - I followed the recipe exactly and it burned so bad that I still can't get all the burn marks out of the crockpot!

I am so disappointed...... I followed the recipe and my candy was totally burned. After 2 hours of being in the slow cooker on low my husband smelled something burning. It was the nuts. I tried stirring the pot and the chocolate was half melted and the nuts were completely black on the bottom. The chocolate seized up. Ugh..... I tried saving some of it by trying to melt what I could in a double boiler. Nope......just a mess. I'm not giving up though. Next time I will try melting the chocolate first in a double boiler and then add the nuts.

I'm glad I read the reviews, I did see someone else made it the way Trisha did on the program, different from the above recipe. I was concerned, and this made it took away my ????'s Do check the mix, all cookers, like cooks, are different. It's a really easy, really good go-to candy that you can personalize to your own desires and needs. Thanks!!!!!
