Ingredients
  

  • 16 ounces lightly salted dry-roasted peanuts or unsalted, with optional pinch of sea salt
  • 22 ounces white chocolate chips or white almond bark
  • 5 ounces dark chocolate chips or milk chocolate chips for a sweeter flavor
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter or crunchy for added texture
  • 1/3 cup toffee bits such as Skor or Heath; or homemade chopped toffee
  • festive sprinkles optional, for garnish
  • 1 pinch sea salt optional, for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Place the peanuts in the bottom of the slow cooker to prevent scorching.

  • Stir well to evenly coat the peanuts in the melted chocolate mixture.
  • Continue cooking on low for another 30 minutes until everything is fully melted and blended.
  • Line one or two sheet pans with parchment paper while the mixture finishes cooking.
  • Scoop spoonfuls of the peanut-chocolate mixture onto the prepared pans using a spoon or cookie scoop.
  • Top with festive sprinkles and/or a pinch of sea salt, if desired.
  • Let candies cool at room temperature for 30–60 minutes, or until firm.
  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks, refrigerate for up to 3 weeks, or freeze for up to 2 months.

Notes

Variations: Swap half the peanuts for almonds, cashews, or pecans. Add milk chocolate for a triple chocolate mix. Stir in crushed peppermint candies for a festive twist. Use chopped cookie bars instead of toffee bits for extra decadence. Great for gifting—package in mini cupcake liners inside tins or jars, tie with ribbon, and add a tag. If the chocolate becomes grainy, it may have overheated—keep the slow cooker on low and stir periodically.
