Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 (16 oz) package white almond bark (chopped)
  • 1 (12 oz) bag white chocolate chips
  • 1 (12 oz) bag pastel-colored candy-coated chocolates (like M&M’s)
  • 1 cup salted peanuts
  • 1/2 cup pastel-colored sprinkles

Optional Add-Ins

  • 1/2 cup mini marshmallows
  • 1/2 cup crushed pretzels


Instructions

  1. Melt the Chocolate and Bark: Add the chopped white almond bark and white chocolate chips to a crock pot. Cover and cook on low heat for 1 to 1.5 hours, stirring every 20 to 30 minutes until the mixture is fully melted and smooth.
  2. Add the Peanuts: Once melted, stir in the salted peanuts until they are evenly coated with the chocolate mixture.
  3. Incorporate Candy and Optional Add-Ins: Turn off the crock pot and allow the mixture to cool slightly for 5 to 10 minutes. Gently fold in half of the pastel-colored candy-coated chocolates along with any optional ingredients such as mini marshmallows or crushed pretzels.
  4. Form the Clusters: Drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto baking sheets lined with parchment or wax paper to form clusters.
  5. Decorate the Clusters: While the candy is still soft, top each cluster with the remaining candy-coated chocolates and sprinkle pastel-colored sprinkles on top for a festive look.
  6. Set the Candy: Let the candy clusters sit at room temperature until they are completely set, which takes about 1 to 2 hours.
  7. Store Properly: Store the candy in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week to maintain freshness.
