Instructions

Add Ingredients: Place the peanuts, semisweet chocolate chips, peanut butter, and pieces of white chocolate or almond bark into the Crockpot.
Cook Slowly: Cover the Crockpot and cook on low heat for 1 hour. Stir every 15 minutes to ensure the chocolate mixture does not burn and melts evenly.
Combine Thoroughly: Once all ingredients are fully melted, give everything a good stir to thoroughly combine the mixture.
Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent the clusters from sticking as they cool.
Scoop Clusters: Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, portion out the chocolate peanut mixture onto the prepared baking sheets. You will likely need about three baking sheets for all clusters.
Chill to Set: Place the baking sheets with clusters into the refrigerator and allow them to chill for 1 hour to let the chocolate firm up.
Serve and Store: Once firm, serve the clusters as desired. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge to maintain freshness.

Notes

Stirring every 15 minutes prevents burning and helps the mixture melt evenly.
Using parchment paper makes removing the clusters easy and mess-free.
You can substitute peanut butter chips if you prefer a sweeter peanut flavor.
Store the clusters in the fridge in an airtight container to keep them fresh and prevent melting.
Feel free to use roasted or lightly salted peanuts, depending on your taste preference.
If you don't have a Crockpot, you may melt the ingredients gently in a double boiler on the stovetop, stirring constantly.
