Instructions

Prepare Ingredients: Break the white almond bark into pieces and gather the semi-sweet and white chocolate chips, peanuts, and M&M’s for easy access during cooking.
Layer Ingredients in Crock Pot: Add the almond bark, semi-sweet chocolate chips, and white chocolate chips to the bottom of a large crock pot. Then, top with both types of peanuts evenly.
Cook Slowly: Cover the crock pot and cook on the low setting for 1½ to 2 hours without stirring. This slow melting process ensures the chocolates melt gently and evenly.
Mix Thoroughly: Once the chocolates have melted completely, stir the mixture until smooth and thoroughly combined.
Fold in M&M’s: Gently fold the pastel-colored M&M’s into the chocolate-peanut mixture, reserving a few for decorative topping.
Form Candies: Spoon out tablespoon-sized portions or use a small cookie scoop to drop the mixture onto parchment or wax paper-lined trays.
Add Toppings: Immediately after forming each candy, top with the reserved M&M’s and pastel sprinkles, if using, to add color and texture.
Let Set: Allow candies to set completely at room temperature for about 1 hour, or refrigerate to speed up the setting process.
Store Properly: Once set, store the candies in an airtight container to keep them fresh and tasty.

Notes

You can use mini cupcake liners for a cleaner and more festive presentation.
Feel free to customize the candy by using different nuts or candy-coated chocolates to suit holidays or personal preferences.
To avoid overcooking or burning the chocolate, keep your crock pot on the lowest heat setting and start checking the melting process at 1½ hours.
