Ingredients

2 ½ pounds white almond bark
2 pounds dry roasted peanuts
12 ounces semi sweet chocolate chips
1 cup butterscotch chips
4 ounces German chocolate bar
3 tablespoons creamy peanut butter

Instructions

Place all of the ingredients into a 6 quart slow cooker or crock pot. Turn to high heat and let the mixture melt together, untouched for 1 hour.
After the hour is up, use a wooden spoon or heat safe silicone spatula to stir the mixture together. Be sure to go all the way to the bottom of the pot and the corners.
Continue cooking and melting the mixture together for 1 more hour, stirring every 15-20 minutes so that the mixture does not burn.
Once the mixture has cooked together, spoon the mixture into 2-3 tablespoon sized dollops onto a large piece of parchment paper or in cupcake liners.
Let the candies set at room temperature for at least 1 hour or until hardened.
Crockpot candy may be stored in an airtight container or baggie at room temp for up to 2 weeks.

Notes

Be sure to stir the mixture every 15-20 minutes as once everything starts melting, it will burn against the sides of the pan if left too long.
If at any point the mixture does scorch slightly on the sides of the pan, stir it in, it will not make a difference in flavor. The keyword here is slightly. If the entire sides of the pan are scorched, you can mix everything together and test the flavor but you may have to start over.
I recommend 2-3 Tbs sized dollops for the candy size, however, you can make them as large or as small as large as you prefer.
