Ingredients Equipment Method Nutrition Notes

Ingredients

32 oz salted peanuts dry-roasted and lightly salted
32 oz white chocolate almond bark or melting wafers for smooth melting
12 oz semisweet chocolate chips good quality for added depth
1 cup butterscotch chips optional for extra flavor

Equipment

6 Quart Slow Cooker
Baking sheets
Parchment paper
cookie scoop or spoons

Method

Lightly spray the base of a 6-quart slow cooker with non-stick spray or use a liner for easy cleanup.
Layer the chocolate ingredients in the slow cooker: place the white chocolate almond bark or melting wafers at the bottom, followed by the semi-sweet chocolate chips, and optional butterscotch chips. Do not add the peanuts yet.
Cover the slow cooker and set it to LOW heat. Allow the chocolate to melt undisturbed for 45 to 60 minutes.
Remove the lid and stir the chocolate mixture thoroughly until smooth and glossy. If there are lumps, cover and melt for another 10 minutes.
Stir in the salted peanuts until fully coated with the chocolate mixture.
Line several baking sheets with parchment paper. Use a cookie scoop or spoons to drop clusters of the mixture onto the sheets.
Allow the clusters to cool and set at room temperature for several hours, or refrigerate for 30 minutes until solid.

Notes

Melt on LOW to avoid scorching. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks, fridge for 4 weeks, or freeze for months. Thaw before eating. Use almond bark for best setting. Can substitute peanuts with pecans or almonds for variation.
