Feeing Fall-ish?

Well, this gall was feeling quite Fall-ish, considering the low morning temperatures

we've been having lately.

Puts a girl in the mood to try out a new recipe or two.

This recipe is holiday recipe:

 

 Slow cooker candy.

1 package (16 ounce) dry roasted salted peanuts,

1 package (16 ounce) dry roasted unsalted peanuts,

1 package (12 ounce) semisweet chocolate morsels,

1 (4 ounce) German chocolate bars,

32 oz white almond bark,

Directions

1. Put peanuts in bottom of crock pot; add other ingredients.
2. Cook on low setting for 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
3. Place rounded spoonful's onto wax paper and allow to cool.

 

Note to readers:

Double check the slow cooker, and make certain that it's set on the lowest temperature!

This correspondent had a brain burp, and set the cooker on 4 hours, instead of 10 hours cook time.

We saved the candy, but just!
