No matter what time of day/week/month/year it is, I'm always in the mood for some delicious chocolate bits of heaven. It's 10 a.m.? I don't care! Give me that chocolate!

I usually have a bar of chocolate sitting in my fridge when I need to take a bite to satisfy a craving, but I've never actually thought about making my own chocolate candies. I wouldn't even know where to start. Luckily, there's an easy Crock-Pot recipe to follow, and you know when there's a Crock-Pot involved, there's hardly any work to be done! All you have to do is throw in some peanuts and chocolate (make sure to follow the layering instructions), and then let it cook.

Now that I know you can actually make chocolates in a Crock-Pot, the possibilities seem endless. Next time, instead of using peanuts like the recipe calls for, I might opt for hazelnuts or almonds. And why not add a few sprigs of mint in there? I do love anything that involves mint and chocolate, don't you?
