- 16 ounces dry roasted peanuts
- 24 ounces white candy bark
- Sprinkles of your choice
Instructions
- Prepare Slow Cooker: Pour the dry roasted peanuts and pieces of white candy bark into the basin of a 4-6 quart slow cooker.
- Melt Candy Bark: Cover and cook on LOW for 2 hours or until the candy bark is completely melted, stirring every 30 minutes if possible to ensure even melting.
- Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Portion Candy: Stir the melted mixture and use a cookie scoop or spoon to place approximately tablespoon-sized mounds onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Add Sprinkles: Immediately add sprinkles of your choice on top of each candy mound before it sets to decorate.
- Cool and Set: Allow the candy to cool and set for approximately 10 minutes before enjoying.
Notes
- Store leftovers covered at room temperature or in the refrigerator for up to 10 days.
- Try different mix-ins like other nuts, chow mein noodles, pretzel sticks, shredded coconut, or butterscotch chips to customize the flavor and texture.
- Use sprinkles that match your holiday theme or personal preference to make the candy festive.
- Alternative stovetop method: Melt candy bark in a large saucepan over medium heat, stirring frequently until fully melted. Remove from heat and stir in peanuts, then proceed with portioning and decorating as described.
- Alternative microwave method: Melt candy bark in 30-second increments in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring between each, until smooth. Stir in peanuts to coat evenly, then continue with the recipe.
