Ingredients
  

Main ingredients
  • 16 oz Salted Peanuts Adds a delightful saltiness that balances the chocolate.
  • 16 oz Unsalted Peanuts For that lovely crunch without overpowering the sweetness.
  • 2 bags (12 oz each) Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips Rich and creamy — the heart of this candy.
  • 2 bags (10 oz each) Peanut Butter Chips Creamy goodness that brings a nutty flavor.
  • 2 bags (10 oz each) White Chocolate Chips or Wafers For the sweet, smooth finish.
  • As needed Christmas Sprinkles Because everything’s better with a little festive touch!

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Spread the salted and unsalted peanuts evenly across the bottom of your Crockpot.
  2. Pour a generous layer of semi-sweet chocolate chips over the peanuts.
  3. Add the peanut butter chips to create another layer.
  4. Finish with a layer of white chocolate chips or wafers on top.
  5. Cover your Crockpot and cook on low for 2 hours.
  6. After two hours, stir the mixture until smooth and fully combined.
  7. Replace the lid and continue cooking on low for an additional 30 minutes.
  8. Use a spoon to drop portions of the warm candy onto parchment-lined baking sheets.
  9. Sprinkle some Christmas sprinkles on top and let cool and harden before serving.
