Crockpot Candy

I just made this delicious treat that i found on Brin's blog.
I have always avoided making candy, especially at Christmas, because it always takes so much time and skill. But, this was easy and I got to use a fool-proof cooking tool: my Crockpot...

















Debbie Sue's Crockpot Candy


1 (16 oz.) jar unsalted peanuts
1 (16 oz.) jar salted peanuts
1 (12 oz.) bag semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 (12 oz.) bag milk chocolate chips
2 (12 oz.) bags peanut butter chips
(1 lb.) packages white almond bark, broken in pieces [aka vanilla candy coating]

Layer the ingredients, in the order they are listed, into a 4-quart or larger crockpot. Turn the pot on low, cover it with a lid, and walk away for two hours. After two hours, remove lid and stir to combine. Replace lid and walk away for another 30 minutes. Check to see if almond bark is melted, and if so, stir and spoon mixture onto wax paper. [Decorate. if you wish. with holiday sprinkles or additional chopped peanuts.] Allow to harden 1 hour or so before enjoying. Then, hide it until ready to serve.
