Ingredients

2 jars (16 oz. each) lightly salted, dry-roasted peanuts (see note)

32 ounces white/vanilla candy coating (see note)

10 ounces dark chocolate chips (semi-sweet also works)

6 ounces butterscotch chips

⅓ cup toffee bits

festive sprinkles (optional garnish)

sea salt (optional garnish)

Directions

Coat a 6-quart crockpot with nonstick cooking spray (or use a liner.)

Add to the crockpot in layers: the peanuts, candy coating, chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, and toffee bits. DO NOT STIR.

Cover with the lid and cook on low for 1 hour.

Stir

After an hour, then stir the mixture until the peanuts are completely coated with the melted chocolate. Continue to cook on low, stirring every 15 to 20 minutes for an additional hour. Turn off the crockpot.

Line a couple large cookie sheets with parchment paper. Using a tablespoon-sized cookie scoop (or spoon), drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the parchment paper, leaving space in-between. Sprinkle with festive sprinkles and sea salt, if using, before the chocolate hardens.

Chill

If you have room in your fridge, chill for about 1 hour until hardened. If not, just let stand on the counter until set, which is perfectly fine, it will just take longer.
