Description
Delicious chocolate clusters made with almond bark, chocolate bars, and peanuts, topped with festive sprinkles.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 lbs vanilla almond bark (broken into pieces)
- 4 oz German chocolate bar (broken into pieces)
- 16 oz honey roasted peanuts
- 16 oz salted roasted peanuts
- 12 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips
- Holiday sprinkles for topping
Instructions
- Line 2-3 large baking sheets with parchment paper or wax paper. Set aside.
- Break the vanilla almond bark and German chocolate bar into pieces and place them in your slow cooker/crock pot, add chocolate chips, and peanuts. You don’t need to grease the crock pot.
- Cover and cook on LOW for 1 hour. After 1 hour, check and stir. The chocolate should be mostly melted. If not, cover and cook for another 15-30 minutes, checking every 15 minutes.
- Switch the crock pot to WARM setting. This keeps the chocolate fluid so you can take your time scooping.
- Using a small cookie scoop or two spoons, drop tablespoon-sized clusters onto the prepared baking sheets. Work relatively quickly, but the warm setting gives you flexibility.
- Immediately sprinkle holiday sprinkles on top of each cluster while the chocolate is still wet. The sprinkles will stick better if you do this right after forming each cluster.
- Allow the clusters to set at room temperature for 1-2 hours, or refrigerate for 30-45 minutes to speed up the process.
- Once fully set, store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks, or refrigerate for up to 1 month.
Notes
- This recipe is easy to make and perfect for holiday gatherings.
- Experiment with different types of nuts or chocolates if desired.
