Description
Melt-in-your-mouth chocolate candy that practically makes itself in your crockpot. These easy peanut clusters combine creamy almond bark, rich chocolate chips, and crunchy peanuts for the perfect holiday treat that everyone thinks you spent hours making.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb white almond bark (white candy coating)
- 12 oz bag semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 (4 oz) bar German sweet chocolate
- 32 oz dry roasted salted peanuts
- ¼ cup holiday sprinkles
Instructions
- Roughly chop the almond bark and German chocolate bar into smaller pieces.
- Lightly spray the inside of your crockpot with cooking spray.
- Add the almond bark pieces, chocolate chips, and German chocolate to the crockpot.
- Place a clean dish towel over the crockpot opening, then put the lid on top of the towel to prevent moisture from dripping into the chocolate.
- Set crockpot to high heat and cook for 45 minutes without stirring.
- Once melted and smooth, add all the peanuts and stir until every peanut is coated.
- Line 3 baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Using a tablespoon, scoop mounds of the peanut mixture onto the prepared sheets, spacing them 1 inch apart.
- Sprinkle the festive sprinkles on top while the chocolate is still soft.
- Transfer sheets to the refrigerator and let them set completely until solid.
- Once solid, transfer to ziplock bags and store in freezer for up to 3 months, refrigerator for 2 weeks, or counter for 4 days.
Notes
Don't skip the towel step - it prevents condensation from making your chocolate grainy. Every crockpot cooks differently, so start checking around the 30-minute mark. These store beautifully and can be made weeks ahead for holiday gifting.
