Ingredients

Scale

Peanuts

  • 16 oz. Salted Peanuts
  • 16 oz. Unsalted Peanuts

Chocolate Layers

  • 2 (12 oz.) bags Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
  • 2 (10 oz.) bags Peanut Butter Chips
  • 2 (10 oz.) bags White Chocolate Chips or Wafers

Toppings

  • Christmas Colored Sprinkles (to taste)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the peanuts: Layer the salted and unsalted peanuts together in the bottom of the crockpot and mix them lightly to combine evenly.
  2. Add chocolate layers: Layer the semi-sweet chocolate chips, peanut butter chips, and white chocolate chips or wafers evenly over the peanuts in the crockpot.
  3. Cook first phase: Cover the crockpot and cook on low heat for 2 hours, allowing the chocolates and peanuts to melt and blend slowly.
  4. Stir the mixture: Remove the lid carefully and stir the mixture completely to ensure even melting and distribution of all ingredients.
  5. Cook second phase: Return the lid and continue cooking on low for another 30 minutes to finish melting and blending the mixture thoroughly.
  6. Form the candy pieces: Using a spoon, drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto parchment-lined baking sheets or into mini cupcake liners for a neat presentation.
  7. Add festive toppings: Sprinkle Christmas colored sprinkles generously on top of each candy piece before allowing them to harden.
  8. Let harden and serve: Allow the candy to cool completely at room temperature until hardened before serving and enjoying your festive treat.

Notes

  • Use parchment paper or silicone mats on baking sheets to prevent sticking.
  • The candy should be stored in an airtight container at room temperature or refrigerated for longer freshness.
  • You can customize this recipe by adding other nuts or different types of chocolate chips if desired.
  • Ensure the crockpot is on low heat to avoid burning the chocolate.
  • If you prefer smaller bite sizes, use mini muffin liners for portioning.
