Easter Crockpot Candy

Method

1. I

   Layer peanuts and then vanilla candy coating into the crockpot (I used a 5 quart). Cover. Cook for 1 hour on low temperature without lifting the lid.

2. II

   After 1 hour, stir the mixture and continue to cook, stirring every 15-20 minutes for another hour (a total of 2 hours).

3. III

   Meanwhile, line 3 cookie sheets with Silpat mats or line countertop or table with a long piece of parchment paper.

4. IV

   Turn off crockpot. Reserve 1/2 cup M&M's.

5. V

   When you are ready to scoop, pour remaining M&M's into the crockpot and fold inches.

6. VI

   Working quickly, use a 1 tablespoon scooper to portion out candy from crockpot and onto parchment paper. Make sure candy is not touching. Once entire cookie sheet is scooped (before candy dries) top with 1 M&M and sprinkles.

7. VII

   Allow the candy to cool completely.

8. VIII

   Serve and enjoy!
