Crock Pot Candy
Ingredients
- 2 pounds dry-roasted peanuts
- 2 pounds almond bark*
I used chocolate; however vanilla will also work.
- 12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 4- ounce German chocolate bar*
- Mini paper baking cups
- Sprinkles
optional garnish
Directions
- 1
Put all of the ingredients in a crock pot. (Except for the sprinkles.) Cover and set the temperature to warm. Let sit for 1 hour; then stir the mixture. Continue to heat for another hour, stirring every 15-20 minutes for an additional hour or until the chocolate is completely melted.

Once everything is melted, portion out the candy into mini paper baking cups. (I found it helpful to place the cups in a mini muffin pan before filling them with the candy to help them keep their shape. This isn't required, just helpful.) Top with sprinkles and allow to cool until set.

Pack and store in an airtight container.
