Scale
Ingredients
- 32 ounces dry roasted, salted peanuts (about 6 cups)
- 32 ounces white almond bark, broken into pieces (1 1/3 packages)
- 18 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips (about 2 1/4 cups or 1 1/2 packages)
- Sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
- Combine ingredients: Place the dry roasted salted peanuts, white almond bark pieces, and semi-sweet chocolate chips into the crockpot, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
- Cook low and stir: Cover the crockpot and cook on low heat for about 2 hours. Stir every 30 minutes to help melt the ingredients evenly and prevent burning.
- Mix thoroughly: Once fully melted, stir the mixture well to achieve a smooth, even texture combining the nuts and melted chocolate components.
- Spoon out candy: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Spoon small mounds of the candy mixture onto the sheet, spacing them apart.
- Add sprinkles: If desired, sprinkle colorful sprinkles over the candy mounds for a festive finish.
- Cool and set: Allow the candy to cool and harden at room temperature for at least one hour until firm.
- Serve and enjoy: Once hardened, break the candy into pieces and enjoy your homemade crockpot candy treats!
Notes
- Stirring frequently is key to prevent burning and ensure even melting.
- Use a silicone spatula or wooden spoon to stir the mixture gently.
- If your crockpot runs hot, check earlier to avoid scorching the chocolate.
- Store leftover candy in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
- You can substitute peanuts with other nuts or mix in dried fruits for variation.
- Allow candy to fully cool and harden before breaking to retain shape.
