Use the best ingredients for the best results in this recipe for Gourmet Chocolate Covered Nuts. My husband took a large container of these to a silly Santa gift exchange. This was the gift that was the most fought-over.

Place all ingredients in crockpot. Cook on low for 3 hours**. Don't touch. Turn pot off and let sit for 20 minutes. Cover a large surface (about 4 square feet) with waxed or parchment paper. Stir mixture completely. Drop by teaspoons full (I used iced tea teaspoons) onto paper. Let harden and store in airtight containers.

Notes in the Margin:
* On the first time making this, you may wish to look at your mixture at 2 hours. I've made this recipe many, many times in two different types of crockpots and never had a problem. Unfortunately, I did have a friend whose crockpot may have cooked hotter than the low setting. Her chocolate dried-out. So when you peek, if possible try not to lift the lid, the chocolate should look slightly melted and not dry. If it looks okay, continue cooking until 3 hours is reached.Step by Step Photo Instructions for Making This Recipe
