Leave on high and stir every 20 minutes. After 1 hour turn the crockpot down to low until all chocolate is completely melted. Drop clusters onto wax paper, allow to cool in fridge for 30 mins to an hour. Store in an airtight container.

1/4 tsp salt
1/2 stick butter (melted)

1 c. peanuts, chopped
Combine all ingredients until all incorporated. Press into parchment paper lined 9x9 pan. Cover. Chill at least 2 hours. Cut into bit sized squares.
Puffcorn
This is almost to easy! Per one bag of puffcorn, I used 6 squares of almond bark. Simply melted almond bark in the microwave and drizzled over puff corn. Mix until lightly coated. Spread onto wax paper to cool. Break into pieces.
With the remaining almond bark in the package I melted it and dipped pretzels into it until I ran out of almond bark.
