This Christmas crock pot candy recipe is the easiest holiday treat you'll ever make!

Ingredients
- 1 lb white chocolate almond bark
- 1 lb chocolate almond bark
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 3 cups salted peanuts
- 1 cup peanut butter
- holiday sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
- Break white and chocolate almond bark into pieces and place in the crock pot. Add salted peanuts on top and stir gently to combine.
- Place a clean, dry kitchen towel over the crock pot before adding the lid. This catches condensation and prevents water from dripping into the chocolate.
- Cook on LOW for 15 minutes. Stir gently, then add semi-sweet chocolate chips and peanut butter. Replace towel and lid. Continue cooking 15–30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until melted and smooth.
- Line baking sheets with parchment paper. Drop heaping tablespoons of candy mixture onto the sheets and top with sprinkles while still soft.
- Allow candy to set at room temperature for 2–3 hours or refrigerate for 1 hour. Store in airtight containers once hardened.
