FAQ

Q: How long do I need to cook the clusters in my crockpot?

A: Most people find that setting the crockpot on low for about 2 hours works best. Make sure to stir a couple times so it heats evenly.

Q: Can I use marshmallow candies other than Peeps?

A: Yeah, you can try other marshmallows but Peeps give that fun Easter look and they melt just right in this recipe.

Q: How do I know when it's done?

A: The mixture should be smooth and a little shiny. If it seems too thick or lumpy, give it another few minutes in the crockpot.

Q: Can I store these candy clusters after I make them?

A: Sure, just pop them in an airtight container. They usually last up to a week in the fridge, but they taste best if you eat 'em fresh.

Q: Can I easily double the recipe for a party?

A: Definitely. Just double each ingredient and adjust the crockpot settings if needed. Just keep an eye on it cause larger amounts might need a little extra time.

White Chocolate Easter Crockpot Candy Clusters Recipe Substitutions and Variations

White chocolate chips: You can chop up a white chocolate bar into small pieces if you cant find chips
Sweetened condensed milk: Mix evaporated milk with some extra sugar (about one third cup per cup of evaporated milk) as a substitute
Peeps marshmallow candies: Substitute with mini marshmallows or even little pieces of marshmallow fluff to get that same sugary chewy vibe

Pro Tips

1. Make sure you stir the mix more than once. If you don’t stir carefully throughout the cooking time, parts might burn or not melt evenly.

2. Keep an eye on the heat. Sometimes the crockpot can run a bit hotter than you think so checking it a couple of times can save your treat from getting too brown.

3. Let the gooey clusters cool completely before you move them. If you rush it, they might fall apart when you pick them up.

4. If you wanna experiment, try adding a tiny pinch of salt or even a splash of vanilla extract during the last few minutes to give the flavors a little twist.
