- Cook on Low: Cover the slow cooker and cook on low heat for 2 hours without stirring, allowing the chocolates and chips to melt slowly and blend together.
- Stir Until Smooth: After 2 hours, remove the lid and stir the mixture thoroughly until all the ingredients are fully melted and combined into a smooth candy mixture.
- Form Candy Clusters: Use a tablespoon or small cookie scoop to drop spoonfuls of the melted candy mixture onto wax paper or parchment-lined baking sheets.
- Add Optional Toppings: While the candy is still warm, sprinkle festive sprinkles or a pinch of sea salt on top of each candy cluster if desired for added flavor and presentation.
- Cool and Set: Allow the candy clusters to cool and set completely at room temperature or place them in the refrigerator to speed up the process.
- Store Properly: Once set, store the candies in an airtight container to maintain freshness until ready to serve or gift.
