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.

    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!

    Thank you, Maria, for this delicious and inspiring recipe. I tried this recipe and it worked out great. A total success. But I wanted the peanut butter swirl to have more of a natural peanut butter consistency so I made it again using more peanut butter and less peanut butter chips. I used natural unsweetened peanut butter. I did everything else the same as the recipe listed. I wasn’t sure it would set right due to the higher amount of peanut butter but after leaving it set at room temperature for about an hour it set perfectly and had the texture I was looking for. If you like your bark to be a bit softer and easier to cut, try adding a tsp of neutral oil to the chocolate when you are melting it. Not coconut oil as this will cause the chocolate bark to melt more easily when held in your hand or by your fingers. A neutral oil works better but you only need a tsp.
