Peanut Butter Chocolate Bark
Description
Peanut Butter Chocolate Bark blends melted semi-sweet vegan chocolate and peanut butter to create a smooth base. Adding salted peanuts and broken pretzel pieces introduces crunch and a salty contrast to the rich sweetness of the chocolate. The mixture is poured onto parchment-lined pans and chilled until solid, then broken into shards for serving. This no-bake preparation emphasizes contrasting textures and flavors in a shelf-stable treat.
The bark is firm once refrigerated and can be stored chilled for up to a week, maintaining its shape and texture. Breaking the bark into pieces with a butter knife or by hand is simple once it has set. The balance of peanut butter creaminess, crunchy nuts, salty pretzels, and chocolate makes it suitable for casual snacking or gifting.
Use high-quality vegan chocolate and peanut butter to enhance flavor. For clean cuts, heating a knife before slicing can help. Storing the bark in an airtight container in the refrigerator keeps it fresh and preserves the chocolate's firmness.
Ingredients
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips vegan
- 3 tablespoons peanut butter
- 1 cup peanuts salted
- 1 cup pretzels broken into small pieces
Instructions
- Using a double boiler or microwave, melt the vegan chocolate and peanut butter into smooth, creamy, goodness.
- Turn off the heat and add the peanuts and pretzel pieces and stir until coated.
- Line an 8 x 8 baking dish/pan (a 9x9 baking dish/pan will work, too) with parchment paper and pour in the vegan chocolate mixture. Place it into the refrigerator for an hour or until the vegan chocolate is solid. If you’re in a rush, you can place it in the freezer for 30 minutes.
- Once it's solid all the way through, use a butter knife to crack into small pieces. Place the pieces in an air-tight container and store it in the refrigerator for up to a week.
Notes
- Choose quality vegan chocolate and peanut butter for best flavor and texture.
- Store the bark refrigerated in an airtight container to maintain firmness and freshness for up to one week.
- Run a knife under hot water, dry it, and then cut to create precise, clean cuts in the bark.
- The bark can be broken roughly into large shards by using a butter knife once cooled and set.
