Ingredients
- 16 oz jar roasted salted peanuts
- 16 oz jar honey roasted peanuts
- 2 (24 oz) vanilla almond bark
- 1 1/2 cups mini marshmallows
- 1 cup pastel M&Ms
- Bunny sprinkles mix
Instructions
- Step 1: Toss the peanuts into your crockpot, then break up the almond bark and scatter it on top. No stirring yet!
- Step 2: Pop the lid on and set your slow cooker to LOW for one hour. When time’s up, give everything a good stir. If it’s still lumpy, cook for another 15 minutes until smooth.
- Step 3: Turn OFF the crockpot and let the mixture sit at room temp for 30-45 minutes.
- Step 4: Once the chocolate is cool but still creamy, fold in your M&Ms and marshmallows. Then, using a cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls onto parchment-lined baking sheets.
- Step 5: Quickly press a few extra M&Ms and sprinkles on top before they harden.
- Step 6: Leave the candies at room temperature for 1 hour or pop them in the fridge for 20-30 minutes to speed things up.
Notes
- If the mixture is still lumpy after the initial cook, continue cooking for another 15 minutes.
- Letting the mixture cool at room temperature before folding in extras keeps the texture creamy.
- Using a cookie scoop helps in portioning the candies evenly.
- Chilling in the fridge speeds up the hardening process.
