Chocolate Components
- 2 lbs white almond bark (white candy coating), broken or chopped into smaller squares
- 12 oz bag semisweet chocolate chips
- 4 oz bar German sweet chocolate, broken or chopped into smaller squares
Other Ingredients
- 32 oz dry roasted or cocktail peanuts
- Holiday sprinkles (optional)
- Prepare your crockpot: Place the crockpot on low heat setting and ensure it is clean and dry.
- Melt the white almond bark: Add the broken white almond bark into the crockpot. Let it melt slowly, stirring occasionally to ensure an even melt without burning.
- Add chocolates: Once the white almond bark is mostly melted, add the semisweet chocolate chips and German sweet chocolate pieces. Stir continuously to blend the chocolates into a smooth, creamy mixture.
- Incorporate peanuts: Mix in the dry roasted or cocktail peanuts thoroughly ensuring they are well coated with the melted chocolate mixture.
- Spread the mixture: Pour the candy mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet or pan. Use a spatula to spread evenly to your desired thickness.
- Add sprinkles (optional): While the mixture is still warm and soft, sprinkle holiday sprinkles over the top to add festive colors and a decorative touch.
- Set and cool: Allow candy to cool and harden at room temperature or place in the refrigerator until firm.
- Cut and serve: Once set, cut the candy into bite-sized pieces and enjoy or package for gifting.
Notes
- This candy should be stored in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator to maintain freshness.
- Substitute peanuts with your favorite nuts or mix-ins if desired.
- Be careful not to overheat the chocolate to prevent it from seizing or becoming grainy.
- Use a low heat setting on the crockpot to ensure gentle melting and smooth texture.
- If holiday sprinkles are not available, crushed candy canes or colored sugar can be great alternatives.
