Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 2 blocks (24 oz each) white almond bark
- 24 oz roasted peanuts
- 1 ½ cups Easter M&Ms (pastel colors)
- 1 ½ cups mini marshmallows (fruit-flavored)
- Easter sprinkles (for topping)
Instructions
- Melt almond bark and peanuts: In your slow cooker, place the almond bark and roasted peanuts. Cover and cook on low for 2 to 3 hours, stirring frequently to ensure the almond bark melts evenly and coats the peanuts thoroughly.
- Cool the mixture: When the almond bark is fully melted and smooth, turn off the slow cooker. Allow the mixture to cool at room temperature until it reaches a warm but not hot consistency, preventing melting of the candies and marshmallows added later.
- Mix in candies and marshmallows: Gently fold in the Easter M&Ms and fruit-flavored mini marshmallows until just combined, distributing color and texture evenly throughout the mixture.
- Form candy clusters: Using a spoon, scoop out 1 to 1 ½ tablespoon portions of the mixture and place them onto parchment paper to create individual clusters.
- Add toppings: Decorate each candy cluster by pressing additional M&Ms and Easter sprinkles on top for extra color and crunch.
- Set the candies: Allow the candy clusters to set completely at room temperature until firm, ensuring they hold their shape before serving.
Notes
- Stir the mixture often while melting to prevent burning and ensure even coating.
- Do not add M&Ms and marshmallows when the chocolate is too hot to avoid melting them.
- Use parchment paper to prevent sticking and facilitate easy removal of candy clusters.
- Store finished candies in an airtight container at room temperature to maintain freshness.
- Adjust quantities of M&Ms and marshmallows according to personal taste if desired.
