Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 lb dry-roasted peanuts 1 pound salted and 1 pound unsalted
  • 1 package (24 oz) white almond bark broken into pieces
  • 1 bag (12 oz) semisweet chocolate chips

Equipment

  • 1 6-quart slow cooker
  • 2 baking sheets

Method
 

  1. Add the peanuts to a 6-quart slow cooker.
  2. Arrange the almond bark and chocolate chips on top.
  3. Cover and cook on LOW for 1 hour.
  4. Stir.
  5. Cover and cook on LOW for 30 to 60 minutes more, until the chocolate is fully melted.
  6. Stir until smooth.
  7. Drop heaping tablespoonfuls onto two parchment-lined baking sheets.
  8. Let the candy stand at room temperature for 1 to 2 hours, until firm.

Notes

For even melting, keep the slow cooker covered while cooking and stir after the first hour. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks; freeze for up to 2 months. For a dairy-free swap, use dairy-free chocolate chips and check that the almond bark is dairy-free.
