Ingredients

  • 20 ounces dark chocolate melting wafers
  • 12 ounces dry roasted peanuts (salted)
  • 1 1/2 cups red and green M&M’s
  • 2 tablespoons Christmas sprinkles (or more to taste)

  2. Cover and cook on low for 1 hour, stirring once halfway through.

Notes

  • Try white or milk chocolate instead of dark for a different flavor.
  • Swap peanuts with almonds, cashews, or pecans.
  • Stir in mini marshmallows, peanut butter chips, or pretzel pieces for variation.
  • Top with flaky sea salt or crushed peppermint for extra flair.
