Notes

Recipe Tips.

Line the baking sheet with parchment paper before starting so you can scoop the candy quickly.
Keep the slow cooker on low so the almond bark melts gently and does not scorch.
Stir well after the bark and peanut butter chips are melted so everything is coated evenly.
Add the caramel bits after the chocolate has melted so they stay as little chewy pieces.
Make-ahead tip: make the candy several days before serving and store it in an airtight container once fully set.

Store. Set at room temperature, or in the refrigerator. Store in an airtight container, separating layers with parchment or wax paper. Refrigerate for 1 month or freeze for up to 3 months.
