Description

Chocolate Peanut Butter Bark is a rich, creamy, no-bake treat featuring layers of smooth chocolate and peanut butter. Easy to prepare and perfect for satisfying sweet cravings, this dessert combines the classic flavors of chocolate and peanut butter with a delightful crunch from chopped peanuts and a hint of sea salt.

Ingredients

Chocolate Layer

  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil

Peanut Butter Layer

  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Topping (Optional)

  • 2 tablespoons chopped peanuts
  • Flaky sea salt

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pan: Line a small baking pan or tray with parchment paper to ensure easy removal of the bark once set.
  2. Melt Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl or over a double boiler, melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips together with coconut oil until completely smooth and glossy. Stir occasionally to prevent burning.
  3. First Chocolate Layer: Pour half of the melted chocolate into the prepared pan and spread it evenly. Place the pan in the freezer for 10 minutes to allow the chocolate to firm up slightly.
  4. Mix Peanut Butter Layer: While the chocolate chills, combine creamy peanut butter, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract in a bowl. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
  5. Spread Peanut Butter: Remove the pan from the freezer and spread the peanut butter mixture evenly over the chilled chocolate layer.
  6. Top Chocolate Layer: Pour the remaining melted chocolate over the peanut butter layer. Smooth the top gently with a spatula for an even finish.
  7. Add Toppings: Sprinkle chopped peanuts and flaky sea salt over the top layer, if using, for added texture and flavor.
  8. Freeze to Set: Place the pan back in the freezer for at least 1 hour or until the bark is completely firm.
  9. Serve: Once set, break the bark into pieces and serve. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator or freezer.

Notes

  • Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks or freeze for up to 3 months to maintain freshness.
  • Use dark chocolate instead of semi-sweet for a richer, more intense chocolate flavor.
  • Almond butter can be used as a substitute for peanut butter for a different nutty taste.
