Ingredients
  

  • 2 pounds white almond bark or vanilla candy coating chopped
  • 4 ounces German sweet chocolate bar chopped
  • 12 ounces semisweet chocolate chips
  • 12 ounces milk chocolate chips
  • 16 ounces lightly salted peanuts

Equipment

  • Baking sheets
  • Parchment paper

Method
 

  1. Layer chocolates in the slow cooker: white almond bark on bottom, followed by German chocolate, semisweet chips, and milk chocolate chips. Do not stir.
  2. Cover and cook on LOW for 2 hours.
  3. After 2 hours, stir until completely smooth. If needed, cook an additional 15-20 minutes if chocolate isn't fully melted.
  4. Fold in both types of peanuts until evenly coated.
  5. Drop spoonfuls of mixture onto parchment-lined baking sheets.
  6. If desired, top with holiday sprinkles or crushed candy canes before chocolate sets.
  7. Let stand at room temperature for 1-2 hours until completely firm.

Notes

Quality matters for the chocolates used in this recipe. Both types of peanuts add important texture and flavor complexity. For variations, try using pecans instead of peanuts, or add pretzels, dried fruit, or cereal. You can also add peppermint extract or swap in butterscotch chips for different flavors. Store in an airtight container at room temperature. Makes an excellent holiday gift when packed in decorative tins.
