Ingredients
Scale
Nut Mixture
- 2 cups peanuts (dry roasted or salted)
- 1 cup chopped pecans
Chocolate Mixture
- 1 1/2 cups creamy peanut butter
- 1 lb vanilla almond bark
- 1 lb chocolate almond bark
- 12 oz dark chocolate chips
Toppings
- 1/4 cup Christmas sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
- Prep: Spray your slow cooker with nonstick spray to ensure the candy mixture doesn’t stick during cooking.
- Add Ingredients: Place the vanilla almond bark, chocolate almond bark, dark chocolate chips, peanut butter, peanuts, and chopped pecans into the slow cooker.
- Cook: Set the slow cooker to low for 2 hours or high for 1 hour. Stir the mixture every 20 minutes to ensure everything melts evenly and combines well.
- Shape Candy: Once melted and mixed, scoop about 2 tablespoons of the candy mixture into muffin liners arranged in a muffin tin. Sprinkle the top of each candy with Christmas sprinkles if desired.
- Chill: Refrigerate the scooped candy for 1 to 2 hours, or until firm. Once set, they are ready to enjoy or share!
Notes
- Use nonstick spray generously to prevent sticking in the slow cooker.
- Stirring frequently ensures smooth, even melting and prevents burning.
- If you don’t have almond bark, you can substitute with white and milk chocolate melts.
- Store the finished candy in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
- Adding Christmas sprinkles is optional but adds a festive touch.
