Get ready for a sweet treat with this Slow Cooker Easter Candy! It’s so easy to make and perfect for sharing with family during the holiday. Perfect for a cozy weekend gathering!
Ingredients
2 24 ounce blocks of white almond bark
24 ounces roasted peanuts
1 ½ cups pastel M&Ms
1 ½ cups mini fruit flavored marshmallows
Easter sprinkles
Instructions
1. In your slow cooker place the almond bark and peanuts.
2. Cover and cook on low for 2-3 hours stirring often.
3. Once the chocolate is melted and smooth turn off the slow cooker and let the chocolate mixture cool until room temperature. You don’t want the chocolate to start to harden up but you don’t want it so warm it melts the M&Ms and marshmallows.
4. Stir the M&Ms and marshmallows into the chocolate mixture and stir gently until just combined.
5. Scoop 1 – 1 ½ tablespoon scoops onto parchment paper.
6. Top with more M&Ms and sprinkles.
7. Let set and serve!
Notes
Roasting Peanuts Tip: If using unroasted peanuts, roast them in the oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes before adding them to the slow cooker. This enhances their flavor and adds a crunchier texture.
Stirring Frequency: Stir the almond bark and peanuts every 30 minutes during cooking to ensure an even melt and prevent burning. This will also help the mixture stay smooth and creamy.
Avoid Melting Candy: Wait for the chocolate mixture to cool completely to room temperature before adding the M&Ms and marshmallows. If it’s too warm, the candies may melt and lose their shape.
Decorating Options: For a fun twist, consider adding additional seasonal candies like jelly beans or mini chocolate eggs to the mixture before it sets. You can also drizzle melted chocolate over the top for extra sweetness.
