Scale
Ingredients
- 2 pounds white chocolate chips or candy melts
- 3 cups mini pretzels, broken into pieces
- 1 cup salted peanuts or almonds
- 1 cup red and green holiday M&M’s
- 1/2 cup sprinkles (optional, for decoration)
Instructions
- Prepare baking sheet: Lightly grease or line a large baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent the clusters from sticking.
- Melt white chocolate: Place the white chocolate into a slow cooker and heat on low for 1 to 1 1/2 hours, stirring every 20 minutes until the chocolate is completely smooth and melted.
- Combine mix-ins: Stir the broken mini pretzels and salted peanuts into the melted white chocolate until all pieces are fully coated with chocolate.
- Form clusters: Turn off the slow cooker and quickly spoon the mixture into clusters on the prepared baking sheet.
- Add toppings: Immediately press the holiday red and green M&M’s and optional sprinkles on top of the clusters before the chocolate sets.
- Cool clusters: Let the clusters cool completely at room temperature or place them in the refrigerator until firm and set.
- Store: Store the finished candy clusters in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
Notes
- Feel free to customize by adding mix-ins like dried cranberries, pecans, or toffee bits.
- For a festive appearance, drizzle melted dark or milk chocolate over the clusters after they have set.
- Use vegetarian-friendly candies to ensure the recipe is suitable for vegetarian diets.
