Easy Candy Recipe to Make with Kids

Okay, so this is totally NOT my own recipe, but I got it from a friend and thought I would share, as it is a GREAT treat to make with your kids:

What you need is 24 oz (1 pkg) white almond bark, 2/3 cup creamy peanut butter (don't use crunchy; it doesn't turn out right), 2 cups rice krispies, 2 cups small marshmallows, 2 cups dry salted peanuts.

Break almond bark up into smaller pieces, and put half into microwave-safe bowl
Microwave for 1 minute to melt
Take out, and stir until melted throughout
Add remaining almond bark, and stir into first portion. Microwave in 30 second intervals and stir in between until completely melted. Be careful not to scorch!
Stir peanut butter into almond bark "soup"
Add krispies, mallows and nuts to peanut butter mixture and mix thoroughly
Drop by spoonful on to wax paper and let cool

Makes about 40 pieces
