This Three Ingredient Moose Poop Candy is chocolatey, peanutty, and delicious. It’s also called chocolate peanut clusters, but moose poop is so much more fun. It’s easy to make, easy to serve, (easy to eat!), and easy to gift.

Grab your slow cooker and let’s go!

Moose Poop Candy, also known as Slow Cooker Peanut Clusters

Moose poop candy, or, Chocolate Peanut Clusters are a fun and easy 3 ingredient homemade candy recipe that is perfect for serving at parties, passing along to others in cookie exchanges, and simply making to surprise loved ones.

Either way, calling them anything like that will get huge smiles from little ones when you serve them at your next holiday party because these clusters kind of have that look to them.

Groceries needed

• Chocolate chips – I went with both semi-sweet and milk chocolate because that’s what I had on hand. You can use all the same types if you want, or mix it up according to what you like.
• White melting chips – You can also use white almond bark if you have it.
• Peanuts – Roasted, salted, please. None of those wonky red skins on them, either.

Pantry Ingredients:

Festive sprinkles to dust on top as the moose poop candy is hardening. (Optional)

Making the Christmas candy

Just like my 4 Ingredient Snowman Poop recipe, these chocolate nut clusters have just a few super duper easy steps.

Line the slow cooker with a Slow Cooker Liner. It helps with cleanup, but if you don’t have one, that’s fine.

• Add all the ingredients (except the sprinkles) to the slow cooker liner bowl.
• Put a clean tea towel over the top of the slow cooker. (It helps prevent the chocolate from seizing – see the recipe card below for more information)
• Place the lid on top of the tea towel.
• Heat the ingredients until they’re all melty and chocolatey.
• Spoon it out onto the pans, sprinkle the sprinkles, and let harden!

Helpful hints and additions to level up this recipe

• Stir the mixture often so the chocolate doesn’t scorch.
• Change up the nuts by adding cashews, hazelnuts, or almonds.
• Switch out the sprinkles and add coarse salt, chopped nuts, or shredded coconut.
• This crockpot nut cluster recipe can be made on the stovetop but is much easier in the slow cooker because there’s pot watching, plus you’d need a double boiler so the chocolate doesn’t scorch.
• For gift-giving, these nut cluster candies can be put into clear candy bags with a fun label on the top and ribbons. Or toss it into a mason jar and add a fun ribbon for a simple and easy homemade Christmas gift.

Storage

Storing your peanut clusters, or moose poop candy is fairly simple. Keep away from any heat sources or they could easily melt and stick together.

For the best results store these in an air-tight container in a cold dark place away from heat sources. The best place for these when you are not using them is in the refrigerator.

If you wish to freeze them, freeze them on a parchment paper-lined cookie sheet. When completely frozen, store them in between layers of parchment paper inside an air-tight container for up to 3 months.
