Instructions
Layer peanuts and then vanilla candy coating into a 5-quart crockpot. Cover with lid and cook on Low for 1 hour without lifting the lid. After 1 hour, remove the lid and stir the mixture. Cover again and continue to cook, stirring every 15-20 minutes, for another hour (a total of 2 hours).
Meanwhile, line 3 cookie sheets with Silpat mats or line countertop or table with a long piece of parchment paper.
Turn off the crockpot. Reserve 1/2 cup M&M's.
When you are ready to scoop, pour remaining M&M's into the crockpot and fold in.
Working quickly, use a 1 tablespoon scooper to portion out candy from crockpot and onto parchment or Silpat. Make sure candy clusters are not touching. Once the entire cookie sheet is full (before candy dries) top each candy with 1 M&M and sprinkles.
