Delicious crockpot candy made with almond bark, peanuts, green M&Ms, and St. Paddy’s Day sprinkles. Perfect for parties and leprechaun gifts.

  • Total Time: 1 hour 45 minutes
  • Yield: 7 dozen 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 c. dry roasted peanuts (about 36 oz.)
  • 48 oz. almond bark (2 packages)
  • 1 1/2 c. green M&Ms, divided (about 11 oz.)
  • 2 c. mini marshmallows
  • 1/2 c. holiday sprinkles

Instructions

  1. Add the peanuts to a slow cooker.
  2. Carefully chop apart the almond bark using a knife and then add on top of the peanuts.
  3. Cook on low, stirring after 30 minutes and 1 hour.
  4. Continue to cook and stir every 15 minutes until it’s melted and smooth. (Our total cook time is typically 1 hour 15 minutes.)
  5. Turn off the slow cooker and allow the candy mixture to cool off so it’s warm but not hot.
  6. Mix in 1 cup of M&Ms and all of the marshmallows.
  7. Spoon by heaping tablespoon onto wax or parchment paper.
  8. Top with one green M&M and sprinkles on each. (If you have extra M&Ms, you can add more.)
  9. Allow to set (20 to 30 minutes).
  10. Serve and enjoy! Or store for later.

Notes

  • Important: 1) do not overcook the candy mixture; it could cause the white chocolate to get clumpy and harden too soon, and 2) wait to add the mix-ins until the candy is no longer hot. Otherwise this could melt the M&Ms and marshmallows and change the color and texture of the candy.
  • Storage: store the candies in an airtight container at room temperature or in the fridge or freezer.
  • Variations: feel free to get creative with the mix-ins by adding lucky charms, caramel bits, chopped pretzels, or different types of chocolate.
