How to Store Keto Crockpot Candy

As with most chocolate treats, this candy is best stored in the refrigerator to avoid any melting disasters. If you’re planning on gifting someone your homemade Keto Crockpot Candy, just keep it cool for as long as possible before handing over their surprise!

Tips for Making Crockpot Peanut Clusters

  • Be sure not to forget that the Crockpot chocolate peanut clusters are cooking! If you overcook the candy, the chocolate will become hard.
  • If you do find your chocolate is slightly overcooked, you can add a spoonful of coconut oil and it will help to soften and blend beautifully.
  • Do a taste test before adding salt. Depending on the brand and type of peanut butter or peanuts you use, it might already have the perfect amount of salt. Do a quick taste test before adding extra sea salt.
