Slow Cooker Crispy Chocolate Almond Candy {Dairy Free, Gluten Free, 4 Ingredients}

This Slow Cooker Crispy Chocolate Candy is super easy, healthy and insanely delicious candy that only have 4 ingredients, made in your slow cooker!

'Tis the season for all of those holiday goodies!

Chocolate Chocolate and More has a delicious crockpot candy recipe and I was intrigued.  

Making this candy in my slow cooker frees up my oven for all of those cookies and gingerbread to bake! I decided to make these a little healthier (and crispier!) and I am in love.   

I've made them for friends and two holiday parties already and they were a huge hit. Aren't we all trying to simplify as much as we can during the holidays?

I know I am, for sure.

I like bringing healthier treats to parties and gatherings so I know I am able to eat at least one treat guilt free.

If you are looking for some more healthier treats, try these Healthy No Bake Snickers Bars, Chocolate Brownie Cookies, Almond Flour Thumbprint Cookies and Fudgy Chocolate Brownies.

All of these would be even more delicious with Apple Chai Latte or Low Carb Bulletproof Hot Chocolate. Or if you feel like a cocktail, you can try this Spiked Apple Cider, Slow Cooker Mulled Wine or Skinny Peppermint Eggnog!

Why You Should Make This Crispy Chocolate Candy

The possibilities are endless with this slow cooker crispy chocolate candy. And these are totally customizable.  

Use whatever nuts you like, whatever kind of chocolate you like, make them however you'd like. You can use whatever chocolate you'd like.

I've used sugar free dark chocolate, milk chocolate and a combination of both.

They all taste delicious.  I personally love the mixture of dark and milk chocolate together.

I have used all different types of nuts (basically whatever I have in my house) and I have made them with and without the crispy rice. You can add pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, hemp seeds and chia seed and I loved all of the different textures.

I have also added dried fruit which many people loved very much.

Me, personally, I don't love chocolate with fruit so that's not my favorite.

This crispy chocolate candy makes wonderful holiday gifts. I customize them for friends and family that might have food allergies or dietary restrictions.  

You can easily erap them up in fancy holiday wrappings to make them look even prettier.

Recipe Ingredients

• Almonds - I use whole, raw almonds in this candy. Like I said above, you can use whatever nuts you have in the house.
• Crispy brown rice cereal - I use this one because it's organic, very low in sugar and all wholesome ingredients.
• Semi-sweet chocolate chips - You can also use milk chocolate chips here too.
• Dark chocolate chips - I use the sugar free variety in this candy recipe.
