Description

These chocolate-covered peanuts are made by mixing peanuts, almond bark, and chocolate chips in a slow cooker. It's a fun, crunchy candy for kids!

Ingredients

18 ounces white almond bark, broken into pieces
2 cups semisweet chocolate chips, or more to taste
24 ounces lightly salted peanuts, or more to taste

Directions

1 Cook almond bark in a slow cooker on High, uncovered and stirring occasionally, until mostly melted, 5 to 10 minutes. Reduce the heat to Low and stir in chocolate chips. Cook and stir until chips are melted and mixture is dark in color, 5 to 10 minutes.
2 Turn off the heat and stir in peanuts. Drop a spoonful onto a piece of parchment paper to test consistency; it should be thick and chunky. If it's too loose and runny, stir in more chocolate chips and peanuts.
3 Line several baking sheets with parchment paper. Use a melon baller to drop spoonfuls peanut mixture onto the prepared baking sheets. Let harden before serving, about 1 hour.
