Ingredients
Scale
Primary Ingredients:
- 2 jars (16 ounces/454 grams) roasted, salted peanuts
- 1 package (24 ounces/680 grams) almond bark, broken or chopped
- 1 bag (24 ounces/680 grams) semi-sweet chocolate chips
Garnish:
- Sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
- Arrange peanuts in an even layer at the bottom of the crockpot, creating a uniform base for the candy.
- Distribute chopped almond bark evenly over the peanut layer, ensuring complete coverage.
- Sprinkle chocolate chips as the final layer, covering the almond bark completely.
- Set crockpot to low temperature and cook for 1 hour without stirring, allowing ingredients to melt gradually.
- After 1 hour, gently stir the mixture to combine melted ingredients into a smooth, consistent texture.
- Continue cooking for an additional 30 minutes, stirring periodically to prevent burning and ensure even melting.
- Prepare baking sheets by lining them with wax or parchment paper for easy candy removal.
- Using a spoon, carefully drop small portions of the melted candy mixture onto the prepared sheets, maintaining approximately 1-inch spacing between each dollop.
- Immediately garnish each candy portion with sprinkles while the mixture remains soft and malleable.
- Transfer the baking sheets to the refrigerator and chill for 1 hour until the candies are completely set and firm.
Notes
- Select roasted peanuts for deeper, richer flavor profile and extra crunchiness.
- Use high-quality chocolate chips to enhance overall candy taste and smoothness.
- Ensure wax paper is completely flat to prevent uneven candy shapes when dropping.
- Try different nut varieties like almonds or cashews for unique texture variations.
