Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups peanuts
  • 1 cup pretzels, coarsely crushed

Chocolate

  • 12 oz almond bark
  • 11 oz white chocolate chips

Toppings

  • Heart sprinkles, for garnish


Instructions

  1. Add Ingredients to Crockpot: Place the peanuts, coarsely crushed pretzels, almond bark, and white chocolate chips into the crockpot.
  2. Cook Mixture: Set the crockpot to low heat and cook for 1 hour, allowing the almond bark and white chocolate chips to melt and combine with the peanuts and pretzels.
  3. Stir Well: After 1 hour, stir the mixture thoroughly to ensure all ingredients are evenly combined and melted.
  4. Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make candy removal easy.
  5. Drop Scoops: Using a spoon or scoop, drop spoonfuls of the nut and chocolate mixture onto the prepared parchment paper in individual portions.
  6. Add Sprinkles: Top each candy scoop with heart-shaped sprinkles to add a festive touch.
  7. Chill: Transfer the baking sheet to the refrigerator and chill for 1 hour to allow the candy to set and harden.

Notes

  • Use almond bark specifically designed for candy making as it melts smoothly and sets firmly.
  • Coarsely crush pretzels to maintain a good crunchy texture rather than powdering them.
  • If almond bark or white chocolate chips are not melting uniformly, increase cooking time by 10-15 minutes while stirring occasionally.
  • Store finished candies in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain freshness and prevent melting.
  • For a dairy-free alternative, use vegan white chocolate chips and appropriate nut-based almond bark.
