Ingredients

32 ounces dry roasted salted peanuts about 6 cups
32 ounces white almond bark broken into pieces
18 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips about 2 ¼ cups
Sprinkles optional

Instructions

Line four large cookie sheets with parchment or wax paper and set aside.
Sprinkle the peanuts in an even layer in the bottom of a 5 quart or larger crockpot.
Top with the almond bark and chocolate chips. Do not mix.
Cover the pot with the lid and cook on low for one hour without stirring.
After an hour, mix the peanuts and chocolate well. Continue to cook for another hour, mixing well every 20 minutes.
Drop heaped tablespoons of the chocolate mixture onto the parchment-lined baking sheets. Top with sprinkles if using.
Refrigerate for 20-30 minutes or until the chocolate is set.

Notes

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks or in the refrigerator for up to three weeks. I recommend placing a piece of parchment paper or wax paper between layers if you have to stack the candies; this will prevent them from sticking to each other.
The candies can be frozen for up to three months. Wait for the candies to set completely before transferring them to an airtight container or freeze bag to freeze.
