Author’s Notes

My Year Of Peanut Butter And Chocolate

Peanut butter and chocolate is my all-time favorite dessert pair and I have gone all in this year. First came the buckeye candies. Then I smashed those candies onto graham crackers to make buckeye grahams. And then I wrapped it all up with brand-new buckeye brownie cookies. (Don’t sleep on those!)

So, while I’m not actually calling this buckeye bark, I probably should just to keep the theme going, haha.

It is satisfying to a good bark recipe and this Peanut Butter Bark might just be my new top pick. It is creamy, sweet, and piled high with all the fun toppings. It is the reliable treat and so straightforward to make.

Ingredients prepped in small bowls for straightforward assembly including peanut butter, mini Reese’s cups, white chocolate chips, milk chocolate chips, and peanut butter chips.

Peanut Butter Bark Ingredients

Ingredient	Helpful Tip
White chocolate chips and peanut butter	Melt slowly and stir often so the mix stays smooth and creamy.
Milk chocolate chips and peanut butter	The better the chocolate, the better the bark tastes. Use a regular creamy peanut butter instead of a natural or no-stir version.
Mini Reese’s cups	Press them gently into the warm bark so they stick well. You can cut them in half for pops of peanut butter that’ll show through.
Peanut butter baking chips	Scatter over the top for extra peanut butter flavor in every bite.

The peanut butter and white chocolate base for this peanut butter bark melted together and spread on a sheet pan.

How To Make Peanut Butter Bark

Prep the pan: Line a sheet pan with parchment.
Melt the white chocolate: Microwave in short bursts, stir smooth, and spread in a thin layer.
Melt the milk chocolate: Melt the same way and drizzle over the white layer.
Swirl and top: Swirl with a knife and press on the toppings.
Chill and cut: Refrigerate until firm, then cut or break into pieces.

Storage

Keep the bark in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week. It softens quickly, so keep it chilled until serving.

Freeze Peanut Butter Bark a freezer-safe bag or container for up to 3 months. Let it sit a few minutes before eating.

Quick Tip

When melting chocolate in the microwave, remember that much of the melting happens from residual heat. Stir well (for 30 seconds) between each burst so the chocolate can melt gently and you do not accidentally overheat it.
