Ingredients
Scale

Instructions
- Preparation: Layer ingredients meticulously in the slow cooker, ensuring each component is strategically positioned to maximize flavor infusion and textural complexity.
- Slow Cooking: Cover with lid and set to lowest temperature, permitting ingredients to simmer and harmonize for approximately three hours without disturbance, creating a rich, melded essence.
- Resting and Mixing: After cooking, let mixture settle briefly, then vigorously stir to transform contents into a smooth, homogeneous substance with consistent texture and depth.
- Portioning: Using a precise utensil, carefully deposit uniform dollops of the confectionery mixture onto prepared wax paper, maintaining consistent size and shape for elegant presentation.
- Setting: Allow candies to rest at ambient temperature, enabling complete solidification and developing a refined, distinctive consistency that highlights the intricate flavor profile.
Notes
- Optimize Slow Cooker Placement: Position your crockpot on a flat, heat-resistant surface away from edges to prevent accidental tipping and ensure even cooking.
- Monitor Moisture Levels: Check liquid content periodically during cooking to prevent burning or drying out, adding small amounts of liquid if necessary.
- Temperature Precision Matters: Use a reliable food thermometer to verify ingredient temperatures, guaranteeing safe and perfect texture throughout the cooking process.
- Cooling Technique Impacts Texture: Allow candies to cool completely at room temperature before transferring to storage containers, preventing condensation and maintaining ideal consistency.
