Instructions

Prepare the crockpot: Set your crockpot to low heat to gently melt the almond bark and white chocolate chips without burning them. This slow melting ensures a smooth and creamy chocolate base.
Melt the chocolate: Combine the almond bark and white chocolate chips in the crockpot. Stir occasionally as they melt together over the course of about 1 hour, checking to ensure the mixture is smooth and fully melted.
Add nuts and pretzels: Once the chocolate mixture is melted and smooth, add the salted and unsalted dry roasted peanuts along with the mini pretzel twists. Stir gently to coat all the pieces evenly with the melted chocolate.
Mix in M&Ms and sprinkles: Fold in the holiday M&Ms and, if desired, sprinkle the top with festive holiday sprinkles for added color and texture.
Transfer and set: Spread the mixture onto a lined baking sheet or into a shallow pan, pressing it down evenly. Allow the candy to cool and harden at room temperature or in the refrigerator until firm.
Cut and serve: Once set, cut the candy into approximately 37 small treats. Store in an airtight container to keep fresh and enjoy throughout the holiday season.

Notes

You can substitute almond bark with white candy melts if desired.
For a less sweet option, reduce the quantity of white chocolate chips slightly.
Adding holiday sprinkles is optional but adds a festive touch and extra crunch.
Store the candy in a cool, dry place or refrigerate to maintain freshness.
If the mixture is too thick to spread, warm it slightly to soften before spreading.
