Instructions

Prepare Crockpot: Lightly grease the inside of your crockpot with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
Melt Ingredients: Add the chocolate chips and peanut butter to the crockpot. Set the crockpot on low heat and stir occasionally until the chocolate and peanut butter are completely melted and smooth.
Mix in Nuts and Fruit: Stir in the chopped nuts and dried fruit thoroughly into the melted chocolate mixture to distribute evenly.
Add Marshmallows: Gently fold in the mini marshmallows to keep their shape and texture within the mixture.
Set the Candy: Spread the mixture evenly into a lined baking pan to create a flat surface.
Refrigerate: Place the pan in the refrigerator for 1 to 2 hours to allow the candy to set and harden.
Serve: Once set, cut the candy into bite-sized squares or bars and enjoy or package for gifting.

Notes

Use high-quality peanut butter for the best flavor and texture.
Feel free to substitute nuts and dried fruits with your favorites or what you have on hand.
For a festive touch, consider adding a sprinkle of sea salt or festive sprinkles on top before refrigerating.
Store the candy in an airtight container in the refrigerator to keep it fresh.
This recipe is great for making ahead of holiday parties or for gifting homemade treats.
