Description

Easter Crockpot Candy is a delightful and easy-to-make treat that combines the creamy smoothness of white almond bark with crunchy peanuts, colorful M&Ms, and fluffy marshmallows. This slow cooker recipe is perfect for Easter celebrations or any springtime gathering, offering a festive and tasty confection that both kids and adults will love.

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 24 oz. blocks white almond bark
  • 24 oz roasted peanuts
  • 1 1/2 cups Easter M&Ms (pastel)
  • 1 1/2 cups mini marshmallows (fruit-flavored)
  • Easter sprinkles

Instructions

  1. Melt the chocolate: In your slow cooker, place the almond bark and peanuts. Cover and cook on low for 2-3 hours, stirring often. This step ensures the chocolate melts evenly and coats the peanuts thoroughly.
  2. Cool the mixture: Once the chocolate is melted and smooth, turn off the slow cooker and let the chocolate mixture cool until it reaches room temperature. This step is crucial as you don’t want the chocolate to start hardening, but it shouldn’t be so warm that it melts the M&Ms and marshmallows.
  3. Add candies: Gently stir the M&Ms and marshmallows into the cooled chocolate mixture until just combined. This step adds color, texture, and extra sweetness to your candy.
  4. Form candies: Scoop 1 – 1 ยฝ tablespoon portions of the mixture onto parchment paper. This creates individual candy clusters that are easy to serve and eat.
  5. Decorate: Top each candy cluster with additional M&Ms and Easter sprinkles for extra festive flair and crunch.
  6. Set and serve: Allow the candies to set completely at room temperature before serving. This ensures they hold their shape and have the perfect texture.

Notes

  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
  • For a nut-free version, substitute the peanuts with crispy rice cereal or crushed pretzels.
  • Experiment with different colored M&Ms and sprinkles to match other holidays or occasions.
