Servings: 75 candies
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 package white almond bark, broken or chopped into pieces 32 oz.
- 1 package German chocolate bars, broken or chopped into pieces 4 oz.
- 1 package semi-sweet chocolate chips 12 oz.
- 1 package dry-roasted salted peanuts 16 oz.
- 1 package unsalted dry-roasted peanuts 16 oz.
- Assorted holiday sprinkles or crushed candy canes optional
Instructions
- Add the almond bark, German chocolate bar, and semi-sweet chocolate chips into the crock of a slow cooker.
- Cover and cook on LOW for 1 hour.
- Remove the lid and stir. Cover and cook an additional 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, set out wax paper or parchment paper. You can just lay it on the countertop or use the paper on baking sheets if you prefer.
- Add the peanuts to the chocolate mixture and mix well.
- Drop the candy mixture by spoonfuls onto the wax paper. Make sure the candies do not touch. If desired, top with sprinkles or crushed candy canes before the candy hardens.
- Cool the candies until firm before serving.
Notes
- Store in an airtight container in a cool place.
- Yield will depend on the size of the candies.
- To prevent the condensation from falling into the chocolate and possibly causing it to seize up, place a clean, dry kitchen towel over the slow cooker before placing the lid on top. It will catch any moisture before it falls into the candy mixture.
- Want to speed up the cooling process? Place the wax paper or parchment paper on a baking sheet before dropping the candies onto it. Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator until the chocolate sets.
- Don't limit these candies to just Christmas! Switch up the sprinkles for other holidays - or you can omit them completely.
