Equipment

Crockpot or slow cooker
Baking Sheets
Parchment paper or silicone mat

Ingredients

1 (16-ounce) jar dry roasted salt peanuts
1 (16-ounce) jar dry roasted unsalted peanuts
1 (12-ounce) bag semisweet chocolate chips
1 (4-ounce) bar German sweet baking chocolate chopped
2 pounds almond bark cut into pieces (950g)

Instructions

Spread the salted and unsalted peanuts in the bottom of a slow cooker. Layer in order on top with the chocolate chips, German chocolate, and almond bark pieces. Do not stir.
Cover with the lid and cook on low heat for 2 hours.
Stir until well combined. Turn off the heat. Spoon the mixture into mounds on parchment paper-lined baking sheets. (Decorate the tops with sprinkles or flaked salt, if desired.) Let stand until cooled and set, about 4 hours, or refrigerate for 1 hour. Store in an airtight container for up to 1 month.

Notes

As this crockpot candy only requires five ingredients, I recommend buying good-quality ingredients for the best-tasting results!
When removing the lid of the melted chocolate and peanuts, be careful not to get any liquid, such as condensation from the lid, into the slow cooker. Water can cause melted chocolate to seize.
Some slow cookers run hotter than others. Keep an eye on your pot nearing the halfway point and the end to ensure the chocolate is not burning.
Work in batches if you want to decorate the tops of the crockpot candies with sprinkles or flaked salt. Add the toppings after you spoon out the mounds, as once they’ve set, the toppings won’t stick.
You can swap some of the semi-sweet chocolate chips for dark chocolate for a bit of bitterness.
