Instructions

Layer Ingredients: Begin by layering the white almond bark, semi-sweet chocolate chips, milk chocolate chips, and peanut butter chips directly into your crockpot. Next, top this mixture with the dry roasted peanuts and salted cocktail peanuts to form a crunchy peanut crust.
Cook the Candy: Cover the crockpot and set it to cook on low heat for 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Do not stir immediately; allow the heat to gently melt all the ingredients together to create a smooth mixture.
Stir to Combine: After about 1 1/2 hours, uncover the crockpot and stir the mixture thoroughly until it becomes smooth and all the chips are fully melted and well combined with the peanuts.
Portion the Candy: Using a spoon or small cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of the melted candy mixture onto parchment or wax paper-lined trays. This shapes the candy into individual clusters.
Add Optional Toppings: While the candy is still soft, sprinkle the tops with festive sprinkles or crushed peppermint to add a colorful and seasonal flair.
Cool and Set: Let the candy clusters cool at room temperature until they harden completely before transferring them to storage containers.

Notes

Store the candy in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks to maintain freshness.
For longer storage, freeze the candies and thaw before serving.
Use holiday-colored sprinkles or crushed candy canes to add a festive touch and enhance presentation.
