Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 2 blocks (24 oz each) white almond bark
- 24 oz roasted peanuts
Candy Mix-ins
- 1 ½ cups Easter M&Ms (pastel colors)
- 1 ½ cups mini marshmallows (fruit-flavored)
- Easter sprinkles (for decorating)
Instructions
- Melt the chocolate: Place the white almond bark and roasted peanuts in your slow cooker.
- Cook slowly: Cover and cook on low heat for 2 to 3 hours, stirring often to ensure the chocolate melts evenly and fully coats the peanuts.
- Cool the mixture: Turn off the slow cooker and allow the chocolate-peanut mixture to cool until it reaches room temperature, preventing the candy mix-ins from melting when added.
- Add candies: Gently fold in the pastel Easter M&Ms and fruit-flavored mini marshmallows until just combined, adding bursts of color and sweetness.
- Form candy clusters: Use a tablespoon or 1 ½ tablespoon scoop to place portions of the mixture onto parchment paper, shaping individual clusters that are easy to serve.
- Decorate: Top each cluster with extra M&Ms and Easter sprinkles to enhance the festive look and add crunch.
- Set and serve: Let the candies set completely at room temperature to firm up and hold their shape before enjoying.
Notes
- Stir frequently during slow cooking to ensure even melting and coating of peanuts.
- Do not add the candies until the chocolate mixture has cooled to prevent melting and color bleeding.
- Use parchment paper or wax paper to prevent sticking when forming clusters.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
- For a nut-free option, swap peanuts with toasted rice cereal or pretzel pieces.
