Can I make Crock Pot candy on the stove?

Yep! If you're short on time, just melt everything slowly in a heavy-bottomed pot over low heat . Stir constantly to prevent burning. Once smooth, scoop and cool as usual. Just be sure to use gentle heat —chocolate scorches fast on the stove.

How long does Crock Pot candy stay fresh?

Stored in an airtight container, it’ll last 2 weeks at room temp , about a month in the fridge , or 3 months frozen . For gifting, make them up to a week ahead for best texture.

Can I use white chocolate instead of dark?

You sure can! Just keep in mind that white chocolate is sweeter, so balance it with unsalted nuts or dark mix-ins like cacao nibs. And melt it slowly—white chocolate is more finicky and scorches easily.
