Ingredients
Scale
Peanut Mixture
- 2 (16 oz) containers lightly salted peanuts
Chocolate Mixture
- 48 oz white almond bark, broken into squares
Decorations
- 12 oz Easter pastel M&Ms
- Sprinkles for decorating
Instructions
- Layer Ingredients: Place the peanuts and broken squares of white almond bark into a 5-quart crock pot, layering them evenly.
- Cook on Low: Set the crock pot to low heat and cook for 1 hour, allowing the almond bark to melt slowly.
- Stir Frequently: Every 15 to 20 minutes, open the crock pot and stir the mixture carefully to prevent the almond bark from burning on the bottom.
- Combine M&Ms: Once the almond bark is fully melted and well combined with the peanuts, stir in about half of the Easter pastel M&Ms to distribute flavor and color.
- Form Clusters: Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto a cookie sheet lined with wax or parchment paper. Decorate each cluster immediately with sprinkles and the remaining M&Ms before the mixture sets.
- Set the Clusters: Place the clusters in the refrigerator or let them sit at room temperature for 1 to 2 hours until the candy has completely hardened and set.
- Store Properly: Keep the clusters in an airtight container or ziplock bag and store them in the refrigerator until ready to serve or share. Enjoy your festive Easter candy!
Notes
- Ensure to stir frequently to avoid burning the almond bark at the bottom of the crock pot.
- Use wax paper or parchment paper to prevent the clusters from sticking to the cookie sheet.
- Sprinkles and leftover M&Ms can be swapped for other decorative toppings to customize your clusters.
- Clusters can be stored refrigerated for up to two weeks in an airtight container.
- If you prefer a softer texture, allow clusters to set at room temperature rather than refrigerating.
