Easy Easter Crockpot Candy
If you're looking for a simple, festive treat that practically makes itself, this Easy Easter Crockpot Candy is your answer! With just three ingredients—lightly salted dry roasted peanuts, Ghirardelli white chips, and vanilla almond bark—this no-fuss candy delivers big on flavor with minimal effort.
Equipment
- Large (6 to 8 quart) crockpot
- Small (1 tablespoon) ice cream scoop
Ingredients
- 32 ounces (2 16-ounce jars) lightly salted dry-roasted peanuts (See Tip 1)
- 22 ounces (2 11-ounce packages) Ghiradelli white baking chips
- 24 ounce bar of vanilla almond bark, cut or broken into pieces
- Easter sprinkles for decoration
- Pastel-colored M&Ms for decoration
Instructions
- Layer peanuts, white chips, and pieces of almond bark in a crockpot. Place a paper towel on the top of the crockpot and add the lid. Program on low heat for one hour. (See Tip 2)
- After an hour, stir all ingredients together until well combined. (See Tip 3)
- Using a small ice cream scoop, drop candy onto a parchment-lined surface. Use the back of the ice cream scoop to slightly flatten the candy.
- Before the candy hardens, decorate with Easter sprinkles and pastel-colored M&Ms.
- Allow the candy to harden, and store in an airtight container for up to two weeks.
- Yield: 9 dozen pieces.

Tips/Notes
- May substitute roasted pecans, cashews, or almonds for the peanuts. For an additional crunch, add broken pretzel pieces.
- I like to place a paper towel on the crockpot before putting the lid on in case any moisture is released during melting. The paper towel traps any condensation, preventing it from dropping back into the crockpot and causing the candy to seize up.
- If, after an hour, the chips and/or the almond bark are not fully melted, replace the lid and heat on low for an additional 15 minutes.
