Instructions
- Line baking sheets (or your countertop) with silicone mats, parchment paper, or wax paper. Set aside.
- Add butter to the bottom of the crockpot. Add peanuts, white almond bark (saving 6 oz, or about 1 cup of white chocolate chips, for topping the candy later), milk chocolate chips, semi-sweet chocolate chips, and peanut butter.
- Turn crock pot on high. Stir after 20 minutes. Turn crock pot down to low and allow to cook for an additional 30 minutes.
- Stir until all chocolate is melted and ingredients are well combined. If chocolate still isn’t fully melted allow to cook for an additional 10 minutes, check in 5 minutes intervals and stir each time. Be careful to not let the chocolate overcook and burn.
- Once all chocolate is melted, turn off the crockpot and stir in the pretzels.
- Using a 2 tablespoon cookie scoop, scoop clusters on to cookie sheets or parchment paper. Allow to set until hardened, about 60 to 90 minutes. You can speed up this process by popping them in the fridge, if needed.
- In a microwave safe bowl, melt the remaining white almond bark (or white chocolate chips) in 30 second intervals, stirring well after each pass. This should take between 60-90 seconds depending on the strength of the microwave.
- Pour the melted white chocolate into a sandwich size ziplock bag, gently press the air out of the bag while sealing. Cut a small corner off the bag and drizzle the white chocolate over the clusters. You can also drizzle this with a spoon, but it is harder to control the amount of chocolate on each candy.
- Top with festive sprinkles, if desired, and allow to cool for another 30-60 minutes before serving or packaging.
