These Slow Cooker White Chocolate Peppermint Candies are so easy to make, and they are perfect for gift giving. Sweet white chocolate and peppermint combined with crunchy and salty pretzels. The clean up on these is so easy. Melt and mix right in the slow cooker!
Crush the pretzels right in the pretzel bag before mixing. I opened a corner of the bag so it wouldn’t pop and used a kitchen mallet to break them into smaller pieces. I also found crushed peppermint candies right in the bulk bins of my grocery store.
I can hardly resist this combination of sweet and salty!
These are great with just peppermint candies on top, or with the optional chocolate drizzle.
