Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 Cups semi-sweet chocolate vegan
  • 1/2 Cups peanut butter chips see notes for substitute, vegan
  • 2 tbsp peanut butter
  • 1/3 cup peanut crushed roasted (salted or unsalted based on preference), cashews also work, coarsely chopped, roasted

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Chop or crush your peanuts, and set aside.
  5. 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.
  6. Refrigerate for 30 minutes to set, then use a sharp knife to slice, and store.
  7. The bark can be stored in the fridge for over a month.

Notes

  • Use an offset spatula to spread the melted chocolate evenly while it's still fluid to prevent premature hardening.
  • If peanut butter chips are unavailable, substitute with 3 tablespoons of peanut butter combined with 2 tablespoons of refined coconut oil for similar consistency.
  • Adding chopped pretzels on top can provide an extra layer of texture and a touch of saltiness.
