Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 2 blocks (24 oz each) white almond bark
- 24 oz roasted peanuts
- 1 ½ cups Easter M&Ms (pastel colors)
- 1 ½ cups mini marshmallows (fruit-flavored)
- Easter sprinkles, for decoration
Instructions
- Melt the chocolate: In your slow cooker, combine the white almond bark and roasted peanuts. Cover and cook on low heat for 2 to 3 hours, stirring frequently to ensure the almond bark melts evenly and thoroughly coats the peanuts.
- Cool the mixture: Once the almond bark is melted and smooth, turn off the slow cooker and allow the chocolate-peanut mixture to cool to room temperature. It’s important the mixture is not too warm to prevent melting the candies added later.
- Add candies: Gently fold in the pastel Easter M&Ms and fruit-flavored mini marshmallows, mixing just until combined to maintain their shape and texture.
- Form candies: Scoop spoonfuls (1 to 1 ½ tablespoons) of the candy mixture onto parchment paper, creating individual clusters that will be easy to serve.
- Decorate: Top each cluster with additional pastel M&Ms and Easter sprinkles to add festive color and crunch.
- Set and serve: Let the candy clusters set at room temperature until firm before serving, ensuring they hold their shape and texture perfectly.
Notes
- Stir frequently while melting the almond bark to avoid burning or uneven melting.
- Ensure the mixture has cooled sufficiently before adding candies to prevent melting or discoloration.
- Use parchment paper to prevent sticking and ease candy removal.
- Store leftover candies in an airtight container at room temperature to maintain freshness.
- You can substitute roasted peanuts with other nuts if preferred, but adjust cooking times accordingly.
