Ingredients
- 32 oz (about 6 cups) dry roasted salted peanuts
- 32 oz (1 1/3 packages) white almond bark, broken into pieces
- 18 oz (about 2 1/4 cups) semi-sweet chocolate chips
- Holiday sprinkles or flaky sea salt (optional for topping)
Instructions
- Prepare the crockpot: Line the crockpot with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
- Layer the peanuts: Spread the dry roasted salted peanuts evenly on the bottom of the crockpot.
- Melt the white almond bark: Add the broken white almond bark pieces on top of the peanuts. Set the crockpot to low heat and allow the almond bark to melt gently, stirring occasionally to ensure even melting without burning.
- Spread the melted white coating: Once fully melted, evenly spread the white almond bark over the peanuts.
- Add the chocolate chips: Sprinkle the semi-sweet chocolate chips over the melted white almond bark layer. Cover the crockpot again and let the chocolate chips melt, checking and stirring gently for smooth texture.
- Swirl the chocolate: Using a spatula or knife, swirl the chocolate chips into the white almond bark layer creating a marbled effect.
- Set the candy: Once combined and melted smoothly, sprinkle holiday sprinkles or flaky sea salt on top if desired.
- Cool and firm: Allow the candy to cool completely at room temperature or place the crockpot insert in the fridge to set for 1–2 hours until firm.
- Cut and serve: Once solidified, remove the candy from the crockpot using the parchment paper, cut into pieces, and serve or store in an airtight container.
Notes
- Make sure to melt ingredients on low heat to avoid burning.
- Using parchment paper helps with easy removal and clean-up.
- Customize toppings: add nuts, dried fruit, or different sprinkles for variations.
- Store candy in a cool, dry place in an airtight container for up to two weeks.
- Allow candy to fully cool before cutting to ensure clean pieces.
