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
- Add Ingredients to Crockpot: Place the peanuts, coarsely crushed pretzels, almond bark, and white chocolate chips into the crockpot.
 - 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.
 - Stir Well: After 1 hour, stir the mixture thoroughly to ensure all ingredients are evenly combined and melted.
 - Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make candy removal easy.
 - Drop Scoops: Using a spoon or scoop, drop spoonfuls of the nut and chocolate mixture onto the prepared parchment paper in individual portions.
 - Add Sprinkles: Top each candy scoop with heart-shaped sprinkles to add a festive touch.
 - 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.
