Ingredients
  

  • 2 jar (16 oz) peanuts dry-roasted; 1 salted and 1 unsalted
  • 1 package (24 oz) vanilla almond bark broken into squares
  • 1 bag (12 oz) semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1 bag (12 oz) milk chocolate chips
  • 0.25 cup holiday sprinkles red and green

Equipment

  • 1 6-quart slow cooker
  • 2 rimmed baking sheets

Method
 

  1. Add the peanuts to a 6-quart slow cooker.
  2. Layer the almond bark, semisweet chocolate chips, and milk chocolate chips on top.
  3. Cover and cook on LOW for 1 1/2 to 2 hours or HIGH for 45 minutes to 1 hour.
  4. Stir after 1 hour on LOW or 30 minutes on HIGH and every 15 minutes afterward, until the chocolate is melted and smooth.
  5. Turn off the slow cooker.
  6. Stir the mixture until the peanuts are evenly coated.
  7. Drop 2-tablespoon mounds onto two parchment-lined rimmed baking sheets.
  8. Immediately add holiday sprinkles to each mound.
  9. Refrigerate for 30 to 45 minutes, until firm.

Notes

For smooth, evenly coated candy, stir thoroughly once the chocolate has melted. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks; freeze for up to 2 months. For a dairy-free option, use dairy-free almond bark and chocolate chips.
