Ingredients

48 ounces white almond bark
24 ounces roasted peanuts
1 ½ cups pastel M&Ms
1 ½ cups mini fruit flavored marshmallows
Easter sprinkles

Instructions

To the basin of at least a 4 quart slow cooker, add the almond bark and peanuts.
48 ounces white almond bark, 24 ounces roasted 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 to room temperature. Don't let it set, but it needs to be cool enough to not melt the M&Ms and marshmallows.
1 ½ cups pastel M&Ms
Stir the M&Ms and marshmallows into the chocolate mixture and stir gently until just combined.
1 ½ cups mini fruit flavored marshmallows
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and use a medium cookie scoop (approximately 1 to 1 ½ tablespoons) to drop the candy onto the prepared pan.
Top with additional M&Ms and sprinkles.
Easter sprinkles
Let set and serve!

Notes

Add pretzel pieces or chow mein noodles for classic haystack crunch.
Mix in coconut flakes, white or butterscotch chips for variety.
You can use plain mini marshmallows if you don't like the fruit ones.
Try honey roasted peanuts or another nut altogether.
Store these in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks at room temperature, and even longer in the fridge!
Let chilled candy sit at room temp before serving for easier bites

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