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, for decoration)
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: Place the dry roasted peanuts, white almond bark pieces, and semi-sweet chocolate chips into the crockpot to prepare for melting.
- Cook and Stir: Cover the crockpot and cook on low heat for about 2 hours. Stir the mixture every 30 minutes to ensure the ingredients melt evenly and blend into a smooth consistency.
- Mix Fully: Once everything is melted, give the mixture a thorough stir to achieve an even texture throughout the candy blend.
- Form Candy Mounds: Using a spoon, drop mounds of the melted candy mixture onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them out for individual candies.
- Add Sprinkles: If desired, sprinkle colorful sprinkles on top of each candy mound to add a festive, decorative touch.
- Cool and Set: Allow the candy to cool and harden at room temperature for at least one hour, so it sets properly and can be handled.
- Serve and Enjoy: Once hardened, break the candy into individual pieces if needed and enjoy your homemade crockpot candy treats!
Notes
- Stirring every 30 minutes helps prevent the candy from burning or sticking to the crockpot.
- Make sure to use a crockpot safe for melting chocolate-based mixtures to avoid temperature issues.
- For a firmer texture, you can refrigerate the candy after it has cooled at room temperature.
- Store the finished candy in an airtight container in a cool place for up to two weeks.
- Optional sprinkles add a festive look but can be omitted if desired.
