Melting all ingredients together in a crockpot creates a luscious, melt-in-your-mouth candy that’s perfect for holidays, parties, or anytime you want a quick homemade sweet.

Ingredients

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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Mix thoroughly: Once fully melted, stir the mixture well to achieve a smooth, even texture combining the nuts and melted chocolate components.
  4. Spoon out candy: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Spoon small mounds of the candy mixture onto the sheet, spacing them apart.
  5. Add sprinkles: If desired, sprinkle colorful sprinkles over the candy mounds for a festive finish.
  6. Cool and set: Allow the candy to cool and harden at room temperature for at least one hour until firm.
  7. 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.
