Ingredients
Base Ingredients
- 16 ounce jar lightly salted, dry-roasted peanuts
Chocolate and Mix-ins
- 22 ounces (2 11-ounce bags) white chocolate chips
- 5 ounces (½ 10-ounce bag) dark chocolate chips
- ½ cup creamy peanut butter
- ⅓ cup toffee bits
Optional Garnishes
- Festive sprinkles
- Sea salt
Instructions
- Prepare the base: Place the 16-ounce jar of lightly salted, dry-roasted peanuts at the bottom of the crock pot.
- Add chocolate and mix-ins: Add the white chocolate chips, dark chocolate chips, creamy peanut butter, and toffee bits into the crock pot over the peanuts.
- First cooking phase: Cook on low heat for one hour to begin melting and blending the ingredients.
- Stir mixture: After one hour, stir everything together thoroughly so the chocolate mixture completely coats the peanuts.
- Second cooking phase: Continue cooking on low for an additional thirty minutes to fully combine and melt the mixture.
- Prepare for cooling: While the mixture cooks, line one or two sheet pans with parchment paper.
- Form candy pieces: Once cooking is complete, drop spoonfuls of the chocolate-peanut mixture onto the parchment paper, using a cookie scoop if desired.
- Garnish: Sprinkle the candy drops with festive sprinkles and a pinch of sea salt if using, for extra flavor and decoration.
- Set candy: Let the candy cool completely, about 30-60 minutes, until firm and set before plating and serving.
Notes
- Use parchment paper on sheet pans to prevent sticking and ease cleanup.
- Stirring halfway through the cooking time ensures even coating and melting.
- Optional garnishes like sprinkles and sea salt add both a festive look and a balance of flavors.
- If you prefer a firmer candy, refrigerate after cooling for an additional 15-20 minutes.
- This candy stores well in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
