Lightly Salted Dry Roasted Peanuts: Roasted peanuts have lots of flavor, and the salt on the outside helps to balance out all of the sweet flavors. It is the perfect nut to go in this candy!Vanilla Almond Bark: This is like a white chocolate bar that you should be able to find at your local grocery store. It is perfect for melting, and it has a nice sweet flavor with a hint of almond. You could also use white chocolate chips instead if you wanted to.Semisweet Chocolate Chips: This helps to balance out all of the sweet flavors. You could also do dark chocolate chips if you like those better. Make sure to use a good quality chocolate, your candy will taste better! Milk chocolate chips would also work.Dark Chocolate Bar: I like to use Ghiradelli 60% chocolate, I just think it has great flavor and balances out the sweetness of the other ingredients.Mini Marshmallows: Mini marshmallows are a must in this candy! They add great texture and a gooey bite that you would miss if it wasn’t there.Sprinkles: This ingredient is optional, but it adds such a cute festive flare to the candy.
