Christmas Sprinkles
Instructions
Pour all the peanuts into the bottom of the crockpot, and spread them even.
Add the milk chocolate chips, dark chocolate chips, and chopped almond bark.
Cover the top of the crockpot with a kitchen towel (I like the flour sack cloths for this the most). You do not want the towel to dip inside the crockpot, pull it tight before placing the lid on top of the towel.
Set the crockpot to low and cook the ingredients for 1 ½ hours.
Once the time is up, turn the crockpot to “warm” and stir the entire pot until the ingredients are smooth and creamy. Some of the chocolate might look like it’s not melted, but once you start stirring, it will blend right in.
Using a small cookie scoop or heaping tablespoon, spoon the candies onto parchment paper, giving them just a bit of space so they don’t blend together.
Pause every 20 candies or so and sprinkle them with the Christmas sprinkles. Do this until the entire pot is empty.
Let sit for 2 hours, or until hardened, and enjoy!
