This easy white chocolate crockpot candy combines salted peanuts, crunchy pretzels, and pastel M&M's for the perfect sweet and salty spring and Easter treat.
Pour the peanuts into the bottom of the crockpot insert and spread even.
3½ cups Salted Dry Roasted Peanuts
Place the almond bark and white chocolate chips into the crockpot. Break the baking chocolate bars into pieces and add it to the pot.
24 ounces Almond Bark, 18 ounces White Chocolate Chips, 8 ounces White Baking Chocolate
Cover and cook on low for 30 minutes. Stir well.
Cook for another 30 minutes and add the pretzels. Stir well again.
2 cups Mini Pretzel Twists
Cover and let cook for another 10 minutes. Remove the lid and stir.
Using the cooking scoop or a heaping tablespoon, scoop the candy mixture onto parchment paper or baking sheets covered with parchment paper. Leave just a bit of room so when they spread a bit, they won’t run into each other.
After every 20 candies or so, pause and sprinkle with pastel nonpareils, and place 3 pastel M&M’s on each candy. This ensures the top of the candy doesn’t harden before you put the toppings on. Continue until the candy mixture is gone.
Allow to rest for 2 hours or until completely dried through. Enjoy!
Notes
Storage:
Store: I always store my finished candies in a zip-top bag or a tight-sealing container. They keep perfectly in a cool, dark pantry for up to seven days.
Freeze: Pack the set candy into a tightly sealed container and pop it in the freezer. They will last for up to three months, and you just need to let them sit out on the counter to thaw before serving.
Tips:
Hold off on the pretzels: Add pretzels at the end so they don’t scorch and affect the flavor.
Use a cookie scoop: A small tablespoon scoop makes portioning faster and keeps sizes consistent.
Prep your decorations: Have toppings ready since the chocolate sets quickly and needs to be decorated right away.
