Ingredients
- 1 1/2 Cups Vegan Semi-Sweet Chocolate
- 1/2 Cups Vegan Peanut Butter Chips (see notes for substitute)
- 2 tbsp peanut butter
- 1/3 cup coarsely chopped roasted peanuts crushed roasted (salted or unsalted based on preference), cashews also work
Instructions
- Melt the chocolate in a bowl on a double boiler, or in a microwave. If melting in microwave, melt in 30-second bursts, then mix to avoid the chocolate seizing up.
- Once a good portion of the chocolate is melted, use a spoon and mix really well, and the heat in the bowl will melt the rest of the chocolate. Mix until the mixture is really smooth.
- Melt the peanut butter chips and peanut butter in a bowl on a double boiler, or in a microwave. If using a microwave, melt them in bursts of 20 seconds. Once the mixture is starting to melt, just use a spoon to mix really well, and the mixture will become smooth.
- Chop or crush your peanuts, and set aside.
- On parchment paper, spread the melted chocolate evenly with a spatula into a 11x9 inch rectangle. Then spoon the melted peanut butter onto the chocolate layer, then use a toothpick or a knife to criss-cross over it to design how you like. Then sprinkle the crushed peanuts, lightly press so they don't fall off later on.
- Refrigerate for 30 minutes to set, then use a sharp knife to slice, and store.
- The bark can be stored in the fridge for over a month.
Notes
- An offset spatula makes quick work of spreading the melted chocolate. Being quick is important because you don’t want the chocolate to harden before the swirl and toppings go on.
- Pb chips sub: If you don't have peanut butter chips, you can use 3 tbsp of peanut butter, and 2 tbsp of refined coconut oil mixed in.
- Some chopped pretzels would be a great addition.
