Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

1 jar (16 ounces) salted peanuts
1 jar (16 ounces) unsalted peanuts
1 bag (12 ounces) semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 bar (8 ounces) German chocolate baking bar
⅓ cup (79 g) peanut butter chips
2 packages (24 ounces each) white almond bark
Sprinkles (for garnish, optional)
Sea salt (for garnish, optional)

Instructions

Prepare the Crockpot: In the bowl of a crockpot, add salted peanuts, unsalted peanuts, semi-sweet chocolate chips, German chocolate bar broken into pieces, peanut butter chips, and white almond bark.
Set Heat and Start Cooking: Place the lid on the crockpot and set it to low heat. Let the ingredients start to melt as they cook.
First Stir: After about 45 minutes to 1 hour when the ingredients have begun to melt, remove the lid and stir gently to combine.
Continue Cooking: Replace the lid and cook on low heat for an additional 1 to 1 hour and 15 minutes until everything is fully melted and well blended.
Final Stir: Remove the lid and stir the melted mixture thoroughly to ensure all ingredients are fully combined.
Prepare the Candy Shapes: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop heaping tablespoons of the warm mixture onto the sheet, creating dollops.
Set the Candy: Optionally sprinkle with sprinkles or a pinch of sea salt on top of each dollop. Refrigerate the baking sheet for about 20 minutes or until the candy has fully set and hardened.
Serve and Store: Once set, the candy can be served immediately or stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.

Notes

Use low heat on the crockpot to avoid scorching the chocolate.
If you prefer a smoother candy, stir gently but consistently while melting.
For extra flavor, consider adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract before melting.
Make sure cookies or treats are fully cooled before removing from parchment paper to prevent breaking.
Store candy in the refrigerator as melted almond bark and chips can soften at room temperature.
