In the crock pot, combine peanuts, chopped white chocolate bark, and chocolate chips.

Notes
Nuts- swap the peanuts for pecans or cashews
White Chocolate- often sold as "almond bark" or Ghirardelli melting wafers.
Chocolate Chips- use what you love. Dark chocolate, semi-sweet, and milk chocolate are great options. or keep the treats white and use white chocolate chips!
Peppermint- top with crushed candy canes or peppermints for a festive holiday treat.
Stove Top- no slow cooker? Use a double boiler to melt white chocolate bark and chocolate chips. Fold in nuts and spoon onto parchment paper.
Storage- for easy storage and serving, scoop chocolate straight into paper mini muffin liners. Allow to set in the liner.
Variations:
Turtles: use half peanuts and half pecans (or all pecans)! Add 8 oz caramel bits (or chocolate caramels) during the last 10 minutes of cooking. They might not melt completely, that's perfect. Spoon onto parchment paper. Top with sea salt or sprinkles immediately.
White Chocolate (Valentine's Day)- Use white chocolate bark and white chocolate chips (omit the semi-sweet chips). Add holiday sprinkles and allow to set. Cashews pair very nicely with the white chocolate. You can even use half peanuts and half cashews for a more budge friendly treat.
