Ingredients

Scale

Chocolate Base

  • 1 pound white chocolate almond bark
  • 1 pound chocolate almond bark
  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips

Mix-ins

  • 3 cups salted peanuts
  • 1 cup peanut butter

Toppings

  • Holiday sprinkles (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the almond bark: Break the white and chocolate almond bark into pieces and place them in the crockpot to start melting.
  2. Add peanuts: Pour the salted peanuts into the crockpot with the melting almond bark and stir to combine evenly.
  3. Initial cooking: Set the crockpot to low and cook the mixture for 15 minutes, then stir thoroughly to ensure even melting and mixing.
  4. Add peanut butter: Incorporate the peanut butter into the mixture, stirring well to blend its creamy texture with the melting chocolate.
  5. Add semi-sweet chocolate chips: Add the semi-sweet chocolate chips to the crockpot and continue cooking for an additional 15 to 30 minutes on low. Stir occasionally to produce a smooth mixture.
  6. Prepare baking sheets: Line baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent sticking when the candy is spread out.
  7. Shape the candy: Spoon the melted chocolate mixture onto the prepared baking sheets in small mounds or desired shapes.
  8. Add sprinkles: Immediately decorate the candies with holiday sprinkles if desired, ensuring they stick before the candy sets.
  9. Set the candy: Allow the candy to cool and harden completely at room temperature before handling or storing.

Notes

  • Use salted peanuts for a balance of sweet and salty flavor; unsalted peanuts can be substituted if preferred.
  • Ensure to stir regularly during cooking to prevent chocolate from burning or sticking to the crockpot.
  • Sprinkles are optional but add a festive touch to the candy.
  • Once set, store candy in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator to maintain freshness.
  • This recipe can easily be doubled or halved depending on serving needs.
