Ingredients

Scale

Chocolate Ingredients

  • 2 pounds white chocolate candy coating
  • 6 ounce white chocolate baking bar
  • 12 ounces white chocolate chips

Add-ins

  • 3 cups dry roasted peanuts
  • 2 ½ cups pretzel twists, broken into small pieces

Toppings

  • Pastel sprinkles
  • Pastel M&Ms

Instructions

  1. Combine chocolates: Place the white chocolate candy coating, white chocolate baking bar, and white chocolate chips into the slow cooker. Secure the crock pot lid in place to prepare for melting.
  2. Melt chocolate: Heat the chocolate mixture on LOW for 1 to 1.5 hours until fully melted. Once melted, uncover and stir the chocolate thoroughly to ensure an even consistency.
  3. Add mix-ins: Stir in the dry roasted peanuts and broken pretzel pieces until they are completely coated in the melted chocolate.
  4. Form clusters: Using a spoon or a small cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of the chocolate-nut mixture onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  5. Add toppings: While the chocolate is still soft, sprinkle the candy clusters with pastel sprinkles and place pastel M&Ms on top for decoration and extra flavor.
  6. Set candy: Allow the candy clusters to set for at least one hour at room temperature, or until the chocolate has hardened and the clusters hold their shape.

Notes

  • Ensure the slow cooker is on LOW heat to prevent the chocolate from burning.
  • Use parchment paper or a silicone mat to prevent clusters from sticking to the baking sheet.
  • For extra crunch, substitute some pretzels with lightly salted nuts of your choice.
  • Store finished candy clusters in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
  • These candy clusters make great festive gifts and are perfect for holiday parties.
