How to Make Slow Cooker Easter Candy
Start by adding the white almond bark or white chocolate chips to the slow cooker.
Set the slow cooker to low heat and allow the chocolate to melt slowly for about 1–1½ hours, stirring occasionally until smooth.
Once the chocolate is completely melted, add the salted peanuts and crushed pretzels. Stir until everything is well coated in the melted chocolate.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
Using a spoon, drop small clusters of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet.
While the candy is still soft, place a few pastel chocolate candies on top of each cluster.
Allow the candy clusters to cool and set completely at room temperature or place them in the refrigerator for about 20–30 minutes to speed up the process.
