Scale
Main Ingredients
- 16 ounces dry roasted peanuts
- 24 ounces white candy bark
- Sprinkles of your choice
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: Pour the dry roasted peanuts and pieces of white candy bark into the basin of a 4-6 quart slow cooker.
- Melt Mixture: Cover and cook on LOW for 2 hours or until the white candy bark is completely melted, stirring every 30 minutes if possible to ensure even melting.
- Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking as the candy sets.
- Scoop Candy: Stir the melted mixture, then use a cookie scoop or spoon to place approximately 1 tablespoon-sized portions onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Add Sprinkles: Immediately decorate the candy spoonfuls with your choice of sprinkles before the candy sets to ensure they stick well.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the candy bites to cool for about 10 minutes to firm up before enjoying.
Notes
- Store leftovers covered at room temperature or in the refrigerator for up to 10 days to maintain freshness.
- Experiment with different mix-ins like other nuts, chow mein noodles, pretzel sticks, coconut, or butterscotch chips for variety.
- Choose sprinkles that match your theme or holiday for a festive touch.
- Stovetop Alternative: Melt the candy bark in a large saucepan over medium heat, stirring frequently until melted. Remove from heat and stir in the peanuts, then proceed with scooping and decorating as usual.
- Microwave Alternative: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the candy bark in 30-second increments, stirring between each until smooth. Stir in peanuts thoroughly before scooping onto the baking sheet.
