Ingredients
Here’s a classic combination, but feel free to adjust based on your preferences:
- 450g (1 lb) white chocolate (almond bark or melting wafers)
- 340g (12 oz) semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 340g (12 oz) milk chocolate chips
- 2 cups roasted peanuts (salted or unsalted)
- 1 cup mini pretzels (optional, for crunch)
- 1 cup pastel-colored candy-coated chocolates (Easter-themed)
- Optional: sprinkles or mini marshmallows
Equipment Needed
- Slow cooker (crockpot)
- Wooden spoon or spatula
- Baking sheet
- Parchment or wax paper
- Spoon or cookie scoop
Step-by-Step Method
Step 1: Layer the Ingredients
Start by adding the peanuts and pretzels to the bottom of your slow cooker. Then layer the chocolates on top:
- First the white chocolate
- Then milk chocolate
- Finally the semi-sweet chocolate
Tip: Don’t stir yet—layering helps prevent burning.
Step 2: Melt Slowly
Set your slow cooker to low heat. Cover and let everything melt for about 1.5 to 2 hours.
Avoid opening the lid too often, as this releases heat and slows the melting process.
