Instructions
  1. Prep the Crockpot: Add the roasted salted peanuts and honey roasted peanuts evenly across the bottom of the pot.
  2. Add Almond Bark: Break the vanilla almond bark into squares and layer it on top of the peanuts.
  3. Melt: Cover the crockpot and set to LOW heat for about 1 hour, stirring occasionally.
  4. Cool Down: Turn off the slow cooker and let the mixture cool for about 30-45 minutes.
  5. Mix in Extras: Gently fold in the mini marshmallows and pastel M&Ms using a spatula.
  6. Form Clusters: Drop generous clusters onto lined baking sheets and sprinkle extra toppings.
  7. Set: Allow clusters to set at room temperature for about 1 hour or refrigerate for 20-30 minutes.

Allow almond bark to cool slightly before adding M&Ms. Refrigerate M&Ms before mixing to retain their shape. For nut-free, use pretzel pieces or puffed rice cereal.
