Slowly melted and mixed in a crockpot, this candy is perfect for holiday parties or gifting, featuring a delightful blend of textures topped with colorful holiday sprinkles.

Ingredients

Chocolate Ingredients

  • 1 pound white chocolate almond bark
  • 1 pound chocolate almond bark
  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup peanut butter

Other Ingredients

  • 3 cups salted peanuts
  • Holiday sprinkles (to taste)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Almond Bark: Break the white and chocolate almond bark into pieces and place them into the crockpot to start melting.
  2. Add Peanuts: Add the 3 cups of salted peanuts directly into the crockpot with the almond bark.
  3. Combine Ingredients: Stir the almond bark and peanuts together to combine evenly before heating.
  4. First Cooking Stage: Cook the mixture on low heat in the crockpot for 15 minutes, then stir the mixture carefully to ensure even melting.
  5. Add Peanut Butter: Add 1 cup of peanut butter into the crockpot and mix it thoroughly with the melting chocolate mixture.
  6. Add Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips: Pour in the 2 cups of semi-sweet chocolate chips and stir to combine them into the mixture.
  7. Second Cooking Stage: Continue cooking on low for an additional 15 to 30 minutes, stirring occasionally to maintain a smooth and even consistency.
  8. Prepare Baking Sheets: Line baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent sticking and facilitate setting of the candy.
  9. Portion Candy: Spoon the hot chocolate mixture onto the prepared baking sheets in desired sized portions.
  10. Add Sprinkles: Immediately sprinkle holiday sprinkles over the top before the candy begins to harden for a festive look.
  11. Set Candy: Allow the candy to cool completely at room temperature until it hardens.
  12. Storage: Once hardened, store the candy in an airtight container to maintain freshness and texture.
