Ingredients
- 18 ounces white almond bark, broken into pieces
- 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips, or more to taste
- 24 ounces lightly salted peanuts, or more to taste
Instructions
- Cook almond bark in a slow cooker on High, uncovered and stirring occasionally, until mostly melted, 5 to 10 minutes. Reduce the heat to Low and stir in chocolate chips. Cook and stir until chips are melted and mixture is dark in color, 5 to 10 minutes.
- Turn off the heat and stir in peanuts. Drop a spoonful onto a piece of parchment paper to test consistency; it should be thick and chunky. If it’s too loose and runny, stir in more chocolate chips and peanuts.
- Line several baking sheets with parchment paper. Use a melon baller to drop spoonfuls peanut mixture onto the prepared baking sheets. Let harden before serving, about 1 hour.
- This makes a lot of peanut clusters, so be sure to clear off some counter space beforehand. If you make larger clusters, they will take longer to harden.

Family loved them. It does make a lot so I froze half.
I made these today and they turned out perfect! I also added a sprinkling of sea salt to the tops, since I love chocolate and salt. I didn’t have a ‘slow cooker’ so I just melted both on very low heat in a pan, which turned out just as good. I will make again
This is an easy easy recipe and fun to make. I played with it just a bit. The first batch I sprinkled just a little coarse sea salt on top, really not much just a few grains. The second and third batches I and added a wee bit of cinnamon to one batch and a bit of instant coffee granules in another.
Good stuff. I added walnuts as well for the second half of the batch. Cools nicely and tastes so rich you’ll only want one or two.
Yum!! This recipe is so easy to make and is a perfect Christmas candy to have. Thank You Alexander for posting this recipe.
