Slow Cooker Chocolate Cranberry Clusters with Hawaiian Pink Salt

This is the first time I have made homemade candy using the slow cooker. And, it will most definitely not be my last.

Over the past few weeks, I have read several posts by blogging friends who used this technique. It’s so stupid easy. I can’t believe that all these years that I’ve been making homemade candy, it never occurred to me <<head slap>>.

The slow cooker is so much easier than setting up a double boiler and way better than using the microwave. It’s just dump, wait and then drop. Really. This recipe is that easy.

I had some dried whole cranberries left over from this chicken recipe so I tested out the flavor combo with semi-sweet chocolate and Hawaiian pink salt. It was soooo good, I decided to run to the store and get 4 pounds of cranberries to make a huge batch of this homemade candy for teachers gifts and other family and friends.

You don’t have to make 4 pounds but if you cut the amount, make sure you use a smaller slow cooker so that your chocolate doesn’t burn. I used a 6.5 Quart.

Happy Holidays and have a great weekend!

    My daughter-in-law and I followed your advice and made these for teacher gifts for the grandgirls’ day care. It was unbelievably easy, except for finding a place to cool all of them, it made so many! We had plenty left over for our own holiday snacking. Next time I make them (and there will be a next time), I will add shelled pistachios too. Thanks for the great how-to!

    The combination of chocolate and cranberries is perfect for Christmas, and I also have never tried the slow cooker – but am definitely going to for this! Sounds easy!!! Thanks!

      Hi Laura, You could use Maldon or another flaky sea salt like Jacobson.
