Easter Crockpot Candy
Description
This recipe melts white almond bark together with roasted peanuts in a slow cooker on low heat, stirring frequently to ensure a smooth chocolate coating for the nuts. Once the mixture is smooth and combined, it is allowed to cool slightly to a temperature that will not melt the M&Ms and marshmallows when mixed in. The pastel-colored Easter M&Ms and fruit-flavored mini marshmallows are then stirred in gently, preserving their shape and texture.
Portions are scooped out onto parchment paper and finished with additional M&Ms and sprinkles on top before allowing the candy to set. The finished candies offer a mix of creamy white chocolate, crunchy roasted peanuts, chewy marshmallows, and candy shells, creating a varied texture and sweet, festive appearance ideal for Easter celebrations or seasonal gifting.
The slow cooker method simplifies the melting process and keeps the candy warm for easy mixing. Cooling steps prevent the candy pieces from melting into the mixture.
Ingredients
- 2 oz. blocks almond bark white
- 24 oz peanuts roasted
- 1 ½ cups M&Ms pastel, Easter variety
- 1 ½ cups mini marshmallows fruit-flavored
- Sprinkles Easter variety
Instructions
- In your slow cooker place the almond bark and peanuts. Cover and cook on low for 2-3 hours stirring often.
- Once the chocolate is melted and smooth turn off the slow cooker and let the chocolate mixture cool until room temperature. You don’t want the chocolate to start to harden up but you don’t want it so warm it melts the M&Ms and marshmallows.
- Stir the M&Ms and marshmallows into the chocolate mixture and stir gently until just combined. Scoop 1 - 1 ½ tablespoon scoops onto parchment paper. Top with more M&Ms and sprinkles. Let set and serve!
