Ingredients
  

Candy Base
  • 2 cups Honey Roasted Peanuts Adds sweetness and crunch; swap with unsalted roasted peanuts for a less sweet option.
  • 1 cup Roasted Salted Peanuts Provides a salty contrast; feel free to use unsalted for a milder flavor.
  • 3 cups Mini Marshmallows Contributes sweetness and a soft texture; consider colorful fruit-flavored marshmallows for a fun twist.
  • 1 pound Vanilla Almond Bark The essential binding ingredient that melts beautifully; substitute with white chocolate or candy melts if needed.
Candy Toppings
  • 1 cup Pastel M&Ms Provides sweetness and a pop of color; regular M&Ms or seasonal flavors can be used for variety.
  • 1 cup Bunny Sprinkles A decorative touch that enhances the Easter theme; any fun sprinkles can brighten your clusters.

Equipment

  • Slow Cooker

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Spread a generous layer of honey roasted peanuts evenly across the bottom of your slow cooker. Next, break the vanilla almond bark into smaller pieces and place them on top of the peanuts.
  2. Cover the slow cooker and set it on low heat for 1 hour, stirring every 20 minutes. If needed, add another 15 minutes until the mixture is smooth.
  3. Turn off the slow cooker and let the mixture cool for 30 to 45 minutes.
  4. Gently fold in the mini marshmallows and pastel M&Ms into the cooled mixture.
  5. Use a 2-tablespoon cookie scoop to form clusters and place them on parchment-lined baking sheets.
  6. Sprinkle extra pastel M&Ms and bunny sprinkles on top of each cluster.
  7. Allow the clusters to set at room temperature for 1 hour or refrigerate for 30 minutes.
