Ingredients
  

  • 8 ounces semi-sweet chocolate coarsely chopped
  • 1 cup peanut butter chips
  • 1 tablespoon creamy peanut butter

Instructions
 

  • Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Set aside.
  • Melt the semi-sweet chocolate using a double broiler or in the microwave. If you melt the chocolate in the microwave, stir the chocolate every 20 seconds to help avoid seizing. Once melted and smooth, set aside.
  • Combine the peanut butter chips and peanut butter in a small heatproof bowl. Melt in the microwave at 50 percent power in 20-second increments, stirring after each increment, until completely smooth and melted.
  • Pour chocolate onto the prepared baking sheet, spreading with a rubber spatula into a smooth layer. Drizzle melted peanut butter mixture in parallel lines on top of chocolate. Run a toothpick or knife through the two layers to form swirls.
  • Allow the bark to set completely in the refrigerator, about 30 minutes. Once hardened, break into pieces as large or as small as you want.
  • Note-Store bark in an airtight container at room temperature in a cool, dry place for up to 1 week. During warmer months, store bark in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

  1. You can’t go wrong with chocolate and peanut butter ๐Ÿ™‚ I can’t wait try more recipes from Sally’s Candy Addiction!

  2. My mouth is watering seeing your pictures of the bark, Maria! Great sweet treat to keep for yourself. ๐Ÿ˜‰

  3. I was just thinking about making bark for Christmas gifts this year! How convenient that you shared this gorgeous PB swirled version!

    1. 5 stars
      I know this comment is really old, but using powdered sugar could help get the consistency. It’s what I do with my PB stuffed brownies

  4. I just tried to make this and it was a hot mess. First of all, I wasn’t sure how thick to spread the chocolate (eight ounces to cover a half-sheet pan is pretty thin). Then the peanut butter mixture didn’t melt or become smooth. I tried twice. I also tried adding corn syrup to make it more liquidy. Nope, it’s thick and gloppy. I tried plopping it onto the chocolate instead of “drizzling” it, but of course, thick clumps don’t exactly swirl nicely. Honestly, I could cry.

    1. I am sorry you had issues. The recipe is from Sally’s Candy Addiction Cookbook and it came out great for me!

  5. Didn’t come out well for me either! ย 
    Chocolate very thin on cookie sheet.
    Peanut butter mixture was way too cool, by the time I ย tried to ‘swirl’ it. ย 
    It was like trying to move hard peanut butter around ย on top of very soft chocolate!
    Can’t give away this mess.
    Tastes good, but I could have bought a Reese’s peanut butter cup for myself a lot cheaper & with less effort. ย 
    Wouldn’t recommend this recipe.

  6. I made this, but in lieu of the chocolate, I used Reese’s Peanut Butter cups (froze them first, chopped into large pieces and added when I was ready to bake) because I had them from a previous project. I also added chopped pretzels and some minus the pretzels – but with saltine crackers.

  7. 5 stars
    5 Stars.

    Thanks for sharing. I created this for a Vegan Thanksgiving Potluck, in which I switched the Semi to Dark. For those of us that weren’t vegan though, I added some crushed reeces cups. Yum!
