Ingredients
Scale
Chocolate Layer
- 3 1/2 cups chocolate chips (divided)
Peanut Butter Layer
- 1 1/2 cups creamy peanut butter
- 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
- 3 tablespoons butter (softened)
Topping
- 1 cup Reese’s Pieces
Instructions
- Prepare the base: Line a 10×15-inch cookie sheet with parchment or wax paper to prevent sticking and make for easy removal.
- Melt chocolate layer: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt 1 1/2 cups of chocolate chips in 15-second intervals, stirring well after each interval until fully melted and smooth.
- Spread chocolate: Evenly spread the melted chocolate over the lined cookie sheet and refrigerate to chill and set while preparing the next layer.
- Prepare peanut butter mixture: Combine peanut butter, powdered sugar, and softened butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat on high for 20 seconds, then stir until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Spread peanut butter layer: Evenly spread the peanut butter mixture over the chilled chocolate layer for a rich contrast.
- Melt remaining chocolate: Melt the remaining 2 cups of chocolate chips in the microwave in 15-second intervals, stirring after each until smooth.
- Top peanut butter layer: Spread the melted chocolate over the peanut butter layer, then sprinkle Reese’s Pieces evenly over the top for a crunchy, colorful finish.
- Chill and set: Refrigerate the bark for about 60 minutes until fully set and firm enough to break into pieces.
- Serve: Break the chilled bark into individual servings and enjoy this sweet, peanut buttery treat.
Notes
- Use parchment paper to ensure easy removal from the cookie sheet.
- You can substitute chunky peanut butter for added texture if desired.
- Store the finished bark in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
- For a firmer bark, chill longer before breaking into pieces.
