Ingredients
  

  • 2 jar (16 oz) peanuts dry-roasted, salted
  • 1 package (24 oz) vanilla almond bark broken into squares
  • 1 bag (12 oz) semisweet chocolate chips

Equipment

  • 1 6-quart slow cooker
  • 1 baking sheets

Method
 

  1. Add the peanuts to a 6-quart slow cooker and layer the almond bark and chocolate chips on top.
  2. Cover and cook on LOW for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, stirring every 30 minutes, until the coating is fully melted.
  3. Stir until smooth and the peanuts are evenly coated.
  4. Drop heaping tablespoonfuls of the mixture onto parchment-lined baking sheets, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
  5. Let the clusters set at room temperature for 1 to 2 hours, until firm.

Notes

Stir every 30 minutes so the coating melts evenly. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks; freeze for up to 3 months. For a dairy-free version, use dairy-free vanilla almond bark and chocolate chips.
