Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: Pour the dry roasted peanuts and pieces of white candy bark into the basin of a 4-6 quart slow cooker.
- Slow Cook: Cover and cook on LOW for 2 hours or until the white candy bark is completely melted, stirring every 30 minutes if possible to ensure even melting.
- Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and for easy cleanup.
- Scoop Mixture: Stir the melted mixture well, then use a cookie scoop or spoon to drop approximately tablespoons of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet in evenly spaced mounds.
- Add Sprinkles: Immediately decorate each candy mound with sprinkles before the candy sets to ensure they stick.
- Cool and Set: Allow the candies to cool at room temperature for about 10 minutes until they are set and firm to the touch.
- Enjoy: Serve and enjoy your homemade white chocolate crockpot candies or store them properly.
