Sharla Lovelace

sexy small town love stories

Christmas Crack (yes…it’s that good)

December 18, 2015

My nephew brags that I’m his crack dealer, and I proudly take a bow.  Christmas Crack, that is.  And it is truly addicting and amazing.  All you need is nuts and chocolate and a crockpot.  🙂  And these are my ingredients, but you can substitute any nuts you like and any type of chocolate chips you like.  This has varied from the original that I got the first time, so feel free to tweak it for you!

christmascrack

16 oz jar of peanuts (salted or unsalted)

pkg of pecans halves, walnuts, whatever nuts you’d like (I added for the nutty freaks around here)

12 oz bag semi-sweet chocolate chips

12 oz bag milk chocolate chips

12 oz bag peanut butter chips

12 oz bag dark chocolate chips (I added this because I love dark chocolate)

12 oz bag Heath chocolate chips (I do this for my hubby who loves Heath bars)

2) 1 lb pkgs of chocolate almond bark

Layer ingredients in a large crockpot (starting with peanuts).  Layer in nuts every so often to keep the ratio good.  For my family, the more nuts, the better.  Turn the heat on low, cover with lid, and leave sitting for 2 hours.  Then remove lid and stir everything to combine.  Replace lid and leave sitting for another 30 minutes.  Stir again and then spoon mixture onto wax paper or aluminum foil (I learned the hard way not to put directly on a plate…way more work than is necessary).  Allow to harden for at least one hour.

EAT!!!

    The Reason is You review by Therese Walsh

    “The Reason Is You is a romantic story about love, ghosts, and second chances.  But under all of that, it’s a story about redemption.  This novel is the definition of a page-turner.” ~ Therese Walsh, author of The Last Will of Moira Leahy

    Before and Ever Since review by Romantic Times Book Reviews

    "Lovelace does a great job of bridging the past with the present. The characters are smart, funny and well rounded. It is refreshing to see a female character, with obvious vulnerabilities, exhibit such strength in situations that would make other women cringe." ~Romantic Times Book Reviews

    Before and Ever Since review by Joyfully Reviewed

    "Before And Ever Since is a beautifully crafted, thought provoking story that engaged me from the first few words. The chemistry between Emily and Ben was sizzling hot, and I was quite enamored of these two attempting to work things out…that I could NOT put this story down until I finished it."  ~ Joyfully Reviewed, November 2012 Recommended Read

    Before and Ever Since review by Cocktails & Books

    "Sharla Lovelace is a gifted storyteller. She creates characters that are very down-to-earth, flawed and understand that there isn’t a fairy tale happily ever after waiting for them at the end. It’s raw, it’s gritty and it’s not tied up with a pretty bow, which makes it feel so very real. I look forward to reading more from Sharla Lovelace in the future."    ~Cocktails & Books
