• Place the peanuts, semi-sweet chocolate chips, almond bark (or white chocolate chips), and pecans (if using) into the crock pot.

1. Set Temperature:

• Cover and cook on low for about 1-2 hours. Stir occasionally to help everything melt evenly.

1. Mix in Rice Cereal:

• Once melted and well combined, add the rice cereal to the mixture and stir until evenly coated.

1. Drop onto Wax Paper:

• Using a spoon or a cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of the candy mixture onto wax paper or parchment paper to allow them to set.

• Let the candy cool completely at room temperature until it hardens.

1. Store or Gift:

Tips:

• Feel free to customize this recipe by adding other ingredients such as dried fruits, pretzels, or different types of nuts.
• Be careful not to overcook the mixture, as it can scorch. Keep a close eye and stir frequently.
