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

Instructions
- Prepare the peanuts: Layer the salted and unsalted peanuts together in the bottom of the crockpot and mix them lightly to combine evenly.
- 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.
- Cook first phase: Cover the crockpot and cook on low heat for 2 hours, allowing the chocolates and peanuts to melt and blend slowly.
- Stir the mixture: Remove the lid carefully and stir the mixture completely to ensure even melting and distribution of all ingredients.
- Cook second phase: Return the lid and continue cooking on low for another 30 minutes to finish melting and blending the mixture thoroughly.
- 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.
- Add festive toppings: Sprinkle Christmas colored sprinkles generously on top of each candy piece before allowing them to harden.
- 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.
