Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 16 ounce jar lightly salted, dry-roasted peanuts
  • 22 ounces (2 11-ounce bags) white chocolate chips
  • 5 ounces (½ 10-ounce bag) dark chocolate chips
  • ½ cup creamy peanut butter
  • ⅓ cup toffee bits
  • Festive sprinkles (optional garnish)
  • Sea salt (optional garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the base: Place the lightly salted, dry-roasted peanuts at the bottom of the crock pot, forming an even layer.
  2. Add chocolate and extras: Add the white chocolate chips, dark chocolate chips, creamy peanut butter, and toffee bits on top of the peanuts in the crock pot.
  3. First cooking phase: Cook the mixture on low heat for one hour. After this time, stir everything thoroughly to ensure the chocolate and peanut butter mixture fully coats the peanuts and toffee bits.
  4. Second cooking phase: Continue cooking the mixture on low for an additional thirty minutes to let all ingredients meld together beautifully.
  5. Prepare cooling area: While the mixture finishes cooking, line one or two sheet pans with parchment paper to prepare for the candy dropping.
  6. Form candies: After the cooking is complete, use a cookie scoop or spoon to drop spoonfuls of the chocolate-peanut mixture onto the prepared parchment paper. Optionally, sprinkle festive sprinkles and a touch of sea salt onto each candy for added flavor and presentation.
  7. Cool and set: Allow the candies to cool completely at room temperature for 30 to 60 minutes or until they are fully set and firm. After cooling, the candies are ready to be plated and served.

Notes

  • Use a cookie scoop for evenly sized candies and easier handling.
  • Optionally add sea salt to balance the sweetness with a slight salty crunch.
  • Keep the crock pot temperature low to avoid burning the chocolate.
  • Store candies in an airtight container at room temperature or refrigerated for longer freshness.
  • Can be gifted in festive packaging as a homemade holiday treat.
