Ingredients

16 ounces roasted peanuts
6 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips
2 ounces German chocolate bars
16 ounces dark chocolate almond bark
sprinkles

Instructions

Pour peanuts into the bottom of a 6qt slow cooker. Layer chocolate chips, German chocolate, and almond bark on top.
Cover the crockpot and cook on LOW for 1.5-2 hours. Stir after 1.5 hours to see if fully melted.
Line lipped baking sheets with parchment paper or wax paper. Use a medium cookie scoop to portion out the chocolate clusters onto the prepared cookie sheets. Top with sprinkles or coarse salt.
Let chocolates set and harden for approximately 30 minutes.
Store in an airtight container.

Notes

Use high quality chocolate for the best results.
You can sub white or vanilla almond bark for the dark chocolate.
Use any variety of nuts but use roasted and not raw.
Also can use pretzels or dried fruit.
Storage: Keep chocolates in an airtight container to keep them fresh for a while—perfect for make-ahead treats. But they won’t last long around here!
Freezing: Yes, they freeze well. Once set, store in airtight containers or freezer bags. Thaw in the fridge before serving.

Every slow cooker runs differently. Times given are a general recommendation and should be tested in your own slow cooker and adjusted as needed.
