Crock Pot Chocolate Peanut Clusters!!! Melt 2lbs white melting chocolate (chunks or bars), 4 oz German's baking chocolate and a bag of semi sweet morsels in the crock pot.. then add 16 oz salted peanuts and 8 oz unsalted peanuts, stir and drop clusters on parchment paper to cool. SO GOOD!

I used to make that but I changed it up. I use any kind of graham crackers, same butter & brown sugar, I take 1 bag of different kinds of chips. My favorite is chocolate graham crackers, the same butter & sugar I bake 350 for 12 minutes, then put 1 bag of Andes mint chips on top. They melt quickly. End result it takes like a thin mint cookie, yummy 😋

Potato Candy! My recipe is simple and quick. Boil a small potato. Mash and add a teaspoon of vanilla, then add confectionery sugar until you get a good dough. Roll out and spread peanut butter or you could use crunchy peanut butter, spread on your dough, roll into a log and slice. Easy Peasy 😃 Everyone in my family loves it!

I make those Cracker Candy cookies but, I let the chocolate chips melt and then spread it with an offset spatula, then I top it with toffee bits. I put it in the fridge to set up and break it apart . :) Yum yum. My other favorite is to take a big marshmallow and dip it in melted caramels that are mixed with a can of sweetened condensed milk then I roll them in rice krispies. Eat them warm. So good!

Miss Paula I made these and a few other candies for my landscapers and mailman and for the guys that pick up the trash and recycling this year. My doorbell rang and as I’m stepping over dog & cats to answer I see it was one of the trash fellas with the can I had given their treats in. I open the door to tell him he didn’t need to bring the can back and he said, my wife would the recipe for “The Crack” I gave him this site for her to follow but she ended up face timing me so walk her through it. He was so cute he said, had he known it was so good he wouldn’t had shared it with the rest of the team. A friendship has developed with his wife and I’m helping teach her how to feed her man we FaceTime a lot of recipes and I send her to your video’s. Happy Holidays to you and your family & team. J

How kind of you. Please don't think it's all about the food you gave those people! More so it's about the love you put into it. God bless

My Daddy was a police officer for years. Durning Christmas time my Mama always made burbon balls for him to take to work. As a treat for all the Officers after work. It is fast mixing together and then rolling them into balls was always fun as a family. 1 box vanilla wafers 1 Teaspoon cocoa 1/2 cup ( or more)bourbon 1 cup powdered sugar (splitting into 2 -1/2 cups) Crumble vanilla wafers add 1/2 cup powdered sugar into the crumbs. Add cocoa & bourbon use your hands to mix until you have a play dough. consistency you can roll into a ball. Roll balls into powdered sugar.

I made these years ago for a Christmas party at work. Used Rum instead! Simply WOW😁

1 container of Oreos crushed ( any flavor) mixed with a block of cream cheese. Make into small bite size balls then freeze. Melt bag of chocolate chips ( can use dark, white,Or butterscotch based on flavor of Oreos. Dip each ball into melted chocolate then let cool or freeze ahead. Makes delicious, wonderful cheesecake type candies for Christmas. You can decorate the balls with drizzling various melted chocolate of opposite color or add food coloring to white, crushed nuts, sprinkles etc.

❤Boy I want it all I will be in kitchen. Yum

Yum! The only thing better is if you were in my little kitchen to fix it, lol. I used to make peanut butter balls, aka Buckeyes and decided it would taste the same in a bar form and be a LOT easier. Here is my recipe: Peanut Butter Cup Bars Yield: 16 bars or double for 9 x 13 Prep Time: 15 minutes | Chill Time: 30 minutes ½ cup unsalted butter (I use salted)
 1¾ cups powdered sugar
 1 cup smooth peanut butter (can use crunchy)
 ¾ cup graham cracker crumbs ¼ cup unsalted butter 
½ cup milk chocolate chips (or chopped chocolate) (I use semi sweet) 1. Line an 8×8-inch square pan with foil, leaving enough to hang over the sides, then butter the foil. Set aside. (I just butter dish) 2. In a medium saucepan, melt the ½ cup of butter over low heat. Once melted, remove from heat and stir in the powdered sugar until smooth. Stir in the peanut butter and graham cracker crumbs until completely combined and smooth. Spread the peanut butter mixture into the prepared pan and smooth the top. 3. In the now-empty saucepan, melt the ¼ cup unsalted butter. Add the chocolate and stir until almost completely melted. Remove from heat and continue stirring until completely melted. Pour the melted chocolate over the peanut butter layer and smooth into an even layer. 4. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to set. Remove from the pan using the foil overhangs and place on a cutting board. Use a pizza cutter to slice into 16 bars. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator. (I just keep it in the pan/dish I use)

Thank you Ms. Paula for bringing back one of my most favorite childhood memories. Coming home from school at Christmas time and if the weather was just right, mama would have a long table lined up in the Florida room laid out with beautiful divinity that she had just made. So good.

You got me through the beginning of lockdown. It was so much more than just sharing recipes. You helped us feel normal, even when you were unsure yourself. Thank you 💕

We call this Christmas crack and the kids go crazy over it. We go thru batches and batches. My 16 year old son just today asked when the first batch was coming. Happy Christmas Paula and everyone

Paula Dean! You made my day with this video. I could listen to you talk all day, with your sweet accent, it melts my heart. I am not a real fan of social media. It is so autonomous-ppl go wacky. Years back they did you dirty. I know you don't know me, I feel that I have to say my heart broke . It is evil. How some ppl act, carry on, seemingly being cruel and mean to people. Aughhhhh. I am older so I do not accept what anyone says. I study it out in my mind. I love your cooking shows and you love of living. It is such a pleasure to have found you again. Thank you for this darling video. I am going to make this for my family and friends. Merry Christmas. I also wish you a very happy new year. Please, continue to let your light shine. Brighten people s lives. We all need the sparkle we pick up on, when we associate with 'sparkling people.' May you be blessed because of how your sparkle has lifted me. Love to all. 😊

You need to allow the butter and brown sugar to actually boil for awhile to get very thick before pouring over crackers. The bottom layer has to hardened before you try to brake it all into pieces.

It would be fun to see you make divinity, it’s so nice at Christmas! My Grandma would tint hers different pastel colors, it was delicious and so pretty 🎄

My darling mother used to make it too. I can remember her standing at the stove and stirring it and using a little glass of cold water to check when it was ready. That was in the 50’s/60’s. Such sweet memories.

Hello! Merry and Blessed Christmas to you and your family! We make this for Passover but we use sheets of matzoh instead of Saltines. These are easier to handle but when I cut it is more freeform. Also I let it sit right after it exits the oven on the counter for 5 minutes after sprinkling on all the chips, then I spread the melted chocolate smooth with a butter knife.. While the chocolate is still soft I put the chopped nuts on and since there are all these nut sensitive folks now I only add nuts to about half. My kids named it Matzoh Crack on their own. We alsways have to have it.❤️❤️❤️ I got the recipe from a math teacher named Sandy Fischer, from West Nyack, NY. A really nice lady.

Looks delicious! My grandmother made the best divinity and always said to make it on a sunny day. Happy Holidays to you and your family!

OH this is a different twist on what I grew up eating as crack candy. We started out the same with the crackers and then the sugar mixture, but then we put the chocolate chips on and put it in the oven long enough to melt them enough to spread the melted mixture. Then we sprinkled nuts or colored Christmas sprinkles, mini m&ms, etc. on top and let cool. Then we would just break it up by hand into pieces.

Paula I love you so much! You make me happy when I watch your videos😊I have made this candy for years and when I make it I truly have to give it away to anyone who walks in my backdoor, otherwise I will eat the whole thing! It truly is addictive!! I watched the book signing video and that was such fun! That looks like a great shop! Please do more like those, like when you and Eddie went to Herb Creek Nursery and 7th Heaven, those are as much fun as the cooking videos. Merry Christmas Paula, and to all your family and to Eddie and Teresa, your videos tell the true story of how you treat people- the love you have for friends like Bubbles, employees/friends like Eddie and Teresa, and the love they have for you in return❤️

great minds think alike. I just picked up the ingredients to make this yesterday. my family tradition is to make a holiday treat every week vs all at one time so we can enjoy them throughout the holiday season vs just at our Christmas get together

Paula I’m so glad I get to see you every day. I’m so glad you started doing KZread. I stop watching food network when you was no longer on.

Pecan brittle 1/2 cup corn syrup 1 cup sugar Mix n then microwave 4 minutes Add 1 heaping cup pecans 1 stick butter Microwave 4 more minutes Stir in 1 tsp vanilla Microwave 2 minutes Stir in 1.5 tsp baking soda 1/4 tsp. Salt Stir well n fast. Pour onto well buttered pan n smooth out in thin layer Cool well Break into pieces n enjoy

❤️ This is the kind of fun old-fashioned recipe that everybody can make and that is so delicious and homey. Thank you for sharing this, Paula!

After I heat it up, I stick it in the freezer until it hardens and then "crack" it into pieces. It is addicting!!

So grateful that I'm able to watch you Online👍🏿👍🏿. When your shows were on Cable TV, I watched "Paula's Home Cooking," and "Paula's Best Dishes." Still missing those programs, even now.

My grandmother also made the best divinity. She cooked it in her genuine presser cooker - the stove top kind. She ground her pecans finely so they went through the whole candy instead of just on the surface. She made so many dozens from Thanksgiving to Christmas and gave it as gifts. She sent me a couple of pounds when I was in college. It was sooo good and I've never seen it like hers before.

I've made similar candy but I've always called it "poor man's almond rocca". I've made variations using mint chocolate chips or half chocolate chips & half peanut butter chips. I've also made with plain chocolate chips then sprinkle with sweetened coconut flakes. Any way you make it, its yummy

I had these a few years ago and loved them! They are now on my list for Christmas goodies! Thank you Paula.

That ladle reminds me of the ladle we drank well water from at my grandparents house. They didn't have running water, so all of their drinking water was hand drawn from their well. The water was emptied into a white porcelain bucket. The ladle was always beside the bucket. The well water was always cold, and it was the best tasting water. This is a favorite childhood memory. That bucket and ladle is now a treasured decoration in my parents' house.

I showed up on Friday and bought some books and told Ann she was going to be swamped.....and when I saw her the next day she said I was right! So glad we got to see you and get some books signed.....can't wait for the next one....please do it again soon!!!!!!!

Just tried this recipe and My family cannot stop raving about it!!! These are addictive!!♥️😍 thank you Paula!!♥️♥️

Thanks for showing the whole video. All I could find to make this been shorts. I'm going to try this but with sprinkles instead if toffee and nuts.

I love making this but we call it Christmas Crack. We always put the red & green m&ms instead of the toffee and nuts but I'll definitely have to try this version!!

I met Miss Dean at Caesar's Palace a few yrs back. She was so sweet. She is the same in real life. Just love her!

Omg I love this and you so much!! I am making a German chocolate mayonnaise cake. Random I know but my great-grandmother always made them and the family loved it so why not.

Paula my daughter and I just love you and your recipes. They're so country and simple and yummy. I am so happy that you have your own show I love your laugh and your still as sassy u used to be. Love, Sharon White. Morris Illinois

I must say I have been making this candy since the 90's and I have seen so many different ways to make it. Merry Christmas!

Oh Paula this is one of my absolute favorites! We call this stuff crack in my family too. Me and Mama always make it with my brother and his wife. It’s a Christmas time favorite!

Love you Paula from your first show years ago. You are a symbol of strength and courage and goodness. Thank You.

If you use Graham crackers they're called Gooches. My Mom always made divinity, orange candy, bon bons, peanut brittle, fudge, and coconut brittle for Christmas. Not to mention her wonderful pie crusts and pies. They had come from Georgia to Texas.

Easy peanut butter fudge, melt one container of Betty Crocker cream cheese icing in a bowl in micro. till hot, about 2 to three min. add 16 oz. jar of Jiff peanut butter stir until peanut butter melts, add t. vanilla , pour in small pan and let it sit till firm. Great fudge and really easy . Great if need a quick treat to take somewhere. Hope you love it. Love from Kokomo Ind.

I’m going to try this candy! Paula, I’ve not had great divinity since my grandma passed in 1989, if you make divinity, I’m going to camp on your porch! Yum yum!! Can’t wait to see your cousin!!! Hope y’all had a great Thanksgiving!!! ❤️

Paula, my family has been making eggnog for over 100 years. A box of dryers vanilla bean ice cream, home made eggnog, 2 cups cognac,fresh nutmeg ground. You put the ice cream in a large bowl, add the eggnog, the pour in the cognac, then 2-3 dashes of the fresh nutmeg.

My mother always made divinity too! I've never tried it because it'd be hard to do it justice. Hers was always perfect.

Those candy cookies are some of my favorites! Thank you for sharing the recipe with us.

Lol. You asking Teresa if she wanted some crack! that made me laugh . and I already sent this video to my Mama and she says she's going to make it so I can't wait to try it! Thanks Paula!

Paula, I am so glad you made this treat because I had it once at a CHRISTMAS party but did not get the recipe. 😥 I'm going to make some from your recipe for my family CHRISTMAS dinner. Another one of my favorite CHRISTMAS recipes is from a sweet sister out in Utah. It is called " Miss Nellie Ray Balls ". Tomorrow when I dig out my recipe book I'll try and share it with you. These two candies I could eat until I make my sick on them. 😂😂❤❤❤

Can I come over for Christmas too Paula? 🙏 My family is so toxic and depressing...I’d rather stay home alone then be with them...It would be so amazing to spend such a special day with people who actually love each other...🎄

Mrs. Deen we make Peanut Butter Balls. You can make it any size. You mix peanut butter, butter, rice krispies and powdered sugar mix this all together and roll it into balls and place a toothpick in each ball and dip it into chocolate (semi-sweet) if you use pieces from cake supplies place add about a 1/4 pc of wax that you use for making jams and jellies. Place into fridge to set up balls. Pull toothpick out then you can drizzle chic over and cover your balls. Thank you for sharing .

I can't wait to try this recipe. Looks delicious. The toffee bits are a fun addition to what I usually make. I just wish Mrs. Paula would stop licking her fingers & then touching all the treats.

I made Peanut Brittle. I could not find Raw peanuts in Walmart, Food Lion or Publix. I went to a local peanut roasting company in Hawkinsville, Georgia .

She said you made the peanut brittle.

I love to make Divinity, it is so good. I need to get my KitchenAid mixer out of my storage unit. I do not know why I put it in there, but I never use it. I like my old Sunbeam Mixmaster mixer so much. It is light and I have used this mixer for about 40 years. I only used it for Divinity because you have to use a good mixer or you will almost burn your mixer up. I never had made it till a few years ago, and I was so scared to make it but it turned out so good. I always make it when the humidity is low, I do not know if that is true or not. I usually make it at Thanksgiving but this year I did not. I found out that I am a diabetic 2 months ago, so I really can not have it but I know others can have it. It is so hard being a diabetic right here close to the holidays. I have tried using the sweeteners but some are not baker heat friendly. I found that out making a Chocolate Meringue Pie. LOL
