Crockpot White Chocolate Peanut Clusters

Ingredients

This easy recipe starts with a few simple ingredients from the grocery store.

White chocolate almond bark – Melts smoothly in the crockpot and creates that silky, creamy coating.
White chocolate chips – Boost the sweetness and enhance the creamy texture of the candy mixture.
Smooth peanut butter – Adds rich, creamy peanut flavor and helps bind everything together into melt-in-your-mouth clusters.
Salted peanuts – Bring the perfect crunchy texture and salty contrast to balance the sweet white chocolate.
Easter sprinkles – Add a pop of pastel color and festive flair.

Instructions

1. Add the white chocolate bark, chocolate chips, peanut butter, and peanuts to the crockpot.

2. Set to cook on low for 1 hour, stirring at the half an hour mark.

3. When the chocolate is completely melted, stir once again to coat the peanuts in chocolate.

4. Place muffin cup liners on a baking sheet or tray.

6. Top candy clusters with festive sprinkles.

7. Move to the refrigerator to set for about an hour.

Chocolate almond bark or semi-sweet chocolate chips can easily replace the white chocolate.
Omit the peanuts entirely and use shredded coconut or pretzels instead.
Why not add mini marshmallows, toffee bits, Rice Krispies, or pretzel pieces?
