Ingredients
  

  • 48 oz dry roasted peanuts (Go half salted and half unsalted, or all unsalted)

  • 24 oz white almond bark (Check in the baking aisle, sometimes sold as "White Candy Bark" or "White Chocolate Bark")

Instructions
 

  • Layer the ingredients into a 4 quart slow cooker, starting with the peanuts on bottom and the bark on top.
