Description

These 5 Ingredient Crockpot Chocolate Bars are a simple, no-fuss dessert perfect for any occasion. Combining pumpkin seeds, pretzels, semi-sweet chocolate, butterscotch chips, and creamy peanut butter, this recipe uses your crockpot to gently melt and meld the ingredients into delicious, crunchy, and chewy bars. No need to babysit the stove or oven, just set it and forget it until ready to chill and slice.

Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 2 cups raw or roasted pumpkin seeds
  • 2 cups lightly crushed pretzels
  • 5 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 1/2 cups butterscotch chips
  • 3/4 cup creamy peanut butter

Instructions

  1. Layer Ingredients: Sprinkle the pumpkin seeds evenly on the bottom of your crockpot, then add the crushed pretzels, semi-sweet chocolate chips, and butterscotch chips in layers. Dollop the creamy peanut butter over the top without stirring.
  2. Cook in Crockpot: Cover the crockpot and cook on low heat for 3 hours. Avoid stirring during cooking to allow ingredients to gently melt and combine.
  3. Stir to Combine: After approximately 2 1/2 to 3 hours, stir the mixture well until no streaks remain. Some butterscotch chips may not fully melt, and that is fine for texture.
  4. Prepare Pan: Line a jelly roll pan or a 9×13 inch baking dish with parchment paper for easy removal and cleanup.
  5. Transfer and Chill: Spoon the melted candy mixture into the prepared pan and spread evenly. Tap the pan on the counter a few times to release any air bubbles. Refrigerate until firm, about 30 minutes.
  6. Slice and Store: Once set, cut the mixture into bars. Store the bars in a cool place or in the refrigerator to keep them firm and fresh.

Notes

  • You can use either raw or roasted pumpkin seeds depending on your preference.
  • If you prefer a thicker peanut butter layer, increase to 1 cup.
  • For easier cutting, chill the bars longer if needed.
  • Keep stored bars refrigerated in warm climates to prevent melting.
  • Use parchment paper to avoid sticking and make removal simple.
