Ingredients

2 ½ pounds white almond bark
2 pounds dry roasted peanuts
12 ounces semi sweet chocolate chips
1 cup butterscotch chips
4 ounces German chocolate bar
3 tablespoons creamy peanut butter

Instructions

Place all of the ingredients into a 6 quart slow cooker or crockpot. Turn to high heat and let the mixture melt together, untouched for 1 hour.
After the hour is up, use a wooden spoon or heat safe silicone spatula to stir the mixture together. Be sure to go all the way to the bottom of the pot and the edges.
Continue cooking and melting the mixture together for 1 more hour, stirring every 15-20 minutes so that the mixture does not burn.
Once the mixture has cooked together, spoon the mixture into 2-3 tablespoon sized dollops onto a large piece of parchment paper or in cupcake liners.
Let the candies set at room temperature for at least 1 hour or until hardened.
Crockpot candy may be stored in an airtight container or baggie at room temp for up to 2 weeks.

Notes

Prevent burning - Be sure to stir every 15-20 minutes, scraping edges and bottom. Slight scorching on edges can be stirred in without affecting flavor, but toss them if they taste burnt.
Even portions - An ice cream scoop makes them easier or use 2-3 tablespoons per cluster. Scoop into cupcake liners for easier serving.
Add flavor - Leave out the peanut butter, substitute Biscoff butter for different flavor, or sprinkle with sea salt for extra sweet-salty contrast.
Cooking note - Cook time may vary with older or higher-powered slow cooker models. Be sure to cook just until everything is melted.
