Can I use regular chocolate instead of almond bark?

Yes! You can substitute white, milk, or dark chocolate chips. Just be careful when melting chocolate—check frequently to avoid burning.

Can I make this candy without peanuts?

Absolutely! Swap peanuts for almonds, cashews, or pretzels if you have allergies or prefer a different texture.

What if I can't find fruit-flavored marshmallows?

No worries! Regular mini marshmallows are just as delicious, though you’ll miss the fruity twist.

How long does the candy take to set?

The candy typically sets at room temperature in about an hour. For quicker results, pop them into the refrigerator for 20-30 minutes.

Instructions

Melt the Base Ingredients:
Place the white almond bark and roasted peanuts in your slow cooker. Cover the slow cooker and cook on low heat for 2-3 hours, stirring often. Continue stirring until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
Cool the Mixture:
Turn off the slow cooker and allow the chocolate mixture to cool to room temperature. This step ensures that the chocolate is not so warm that it melts the M&Ms and marshmallows when they’re added.
Combine the Candy Mixture:
Add the M&Ms and mini marshmallows to the chocolate mixture. Stir gently until the mix-ins are evenly incorporated, being mindful not to break the marshmallows or M&Ms.
Scoop the Candy:
Using a tablespoon, scoop 1 to 1 ½ tablespoon portions of the candy mixture onto parchment paper to form individual candies.
Add the Finishing Touches:
Top each candy with additional M&Ms and festive Easter sprinkles for decoration. Let the candies set until firm, then serve and enjoy!

Notes

You can switch the white almond bark with white chocolate chips, but almond bark is recommended for smoother melting.
Use parchment or wax paper for easy cleanup and to prevent the candies from sticking.
Store these candies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
To make these more festive, swap in different holiday-themed M&Ms and sprinkles for various occasions.
