Ingredients
- 1 pound white chocolate almond bark
- 1 pound chocolate almond bark
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 3 cups salted peanuts
- 1 cup peanut butter
- Holiday sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
- Break both types of almond bark into pieces and place them in a crock pot.
- Add 3 cups salted peanuts and stir to combine.
- Place a clean, dry kitchen towel over the top of the slow cooker and place the lid on top.
- Cook on LOW for 15 minutes, then stir.
- Add 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips and 1 cup peanut butter.
- Continue cooking on LOW for 30 more minutes, stirring every 10 minutes, until fully melted and smooth.
- Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Spoon the candy mixture onto the lined sheets in small mounds.
- Immediately add sprinkles, if using.
- Let the candy set at room temperature or refrigerate for 60 minutes to harden.
- Once firm, store in an airtight container.
Notes
- Use high-quality chocolate for best flavor and texture.
- Don’t substitute regular chocolate for almond bark—it helps the candy set properly.
- Peanuts can be substituted with cashews, almonds, or sunflower seeds.
- Use a cookie scoop for uniform portions.
- Flash-freeze candy for 15–30 minutes before transferring to freezer bags for long-term storage.
