Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 16 oz jar salted dry roasted peanuts
  • 1 16 oz jar unsalted dry roasted peanuts
  • 1 12 oz bag semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 12 oz bag milk chocolate chips
  • 1 10–12 oz bag peanut butter chips
  • 2 10 oz packages white almond bark or vanilla candy coating, broken into chunks
  • Optional toppings:
  • Holiday sprinkles
  • Sea salt flakes
  • Crushed peppermint

Method
 

  1. Layer both types of peanuts in the bottom of your slow cooker.
  2. Add the semi-sweet chips, milk chocolate chips, peanut butter chips, and almond bark on top — do not stir.
  3. Cover and cook on LOW for 1½ to 2 hours, until melted. Stir gently to combine once the chocolate is fully softened.
  4. Drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto parchment or wax paper using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop.
  5. If desired, immediately top each cluster with sprinkles, salt, or crushed peppermint.
  6. Let candies cool and harden completely (about 1 hour at room temp or 20 minutes in the fridge).

Notes

Use cupcake liners to portion and present them for gifting.
Swap peanuts with almonds, pecans, or cashews for a twist.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks or refrigerate for longer freshness.
Great for cookie swaps and gifting — one batch makes a ton!
