Ingredients
Scale
Peanut Butter Mixture
- 12 oz white chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
Chocolate Topping
- 1 cup chocolate chips (milk or semi-sweet, your preference)
Instructions
- Prepare the base: Cover a cookie sheet with waxed paper or parchment paper to allow for easy removal of the bark once it hardens. This will help prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
- Melt peanut butter and white chocolate: Place the peanut butter and white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each until fully melted and smooth, about 1 1/2 minutes total to avoid burning.
- Melt the chocolate chips: In another microwave-safe bowl, heat the chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring thoroughly between each until melted and smooth, approximately 1 to 1 1/2 minutes. Be careful not to overheat to prevent the chocolate from becoming hard.
- Spread peanut butter mixture: Pour most of the melted peanut butter and white chocolate mixture onto the prepared cookie sheet. Use a spatula to spread it thinly and evenly across the surface.
- Add chocolate topping: Spoon the melted regular chocolate over the peanut butter layer in large spoonfuls or in lines. Then add the remaining peanut butter mixture to the top of these chocolate spots.
- Create the swirl pattern: Using a butter knife, gently swirl the two chocolate mixtures together by moving the knife back and forth or in circular motions. Continue swirling until you achieve your desired marbled tiger pattern.
- Cool and set: Allow the bark to cool completely at room temperature or in the refrigerator until it hardens. Once set, break it into pieces or cut into squares for serving and storage.
Notes
- Be patient while melting the chocolate to avoid burning, which can cause bitterness and textural issues.
- Use waxed or parchment paper to prevent sticking and facilitate removal of the bark.
- You can customize with milk or semi-sweet chocolate based on your taste preference.
- Store any leftover bark in an airtight container at room temperature or in the fridge to keep it fresh.
- For a peanut allergy-safe version, substitute peanut butter with almond or sunflower seed butter.
