Ingredients

Scale
  • 16 oz (450 g) white chocolate chips
  • 1 cup (240 g) creamy peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup (85 g) semisweet chocolate chips
  • 1/4 cup (40 g) roasted peanuts (optional)
  • Flaky sea salt (optional, for topping)

Instructions

  1. Line a 9×13-inch baking sheet with parchment paper, leaving an overhang for easy lifting.
  2. Place white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until melted and smooth (about 90 seconds total).
  3. Add creamy peanut butter to the melted white chocolate and stir until fully combined and creamy.
  4. Pour the peanut butter-white chocolate mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Spread evenly to about 1/4-inch thickness with a spatula.
  5. Melt semisweet chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second intervals, stirring until smooth (about 40 seconds).
  6. Drizzle the melted semisweet chocolate over the base in zigzag lines. Use a toothpick, skewer, or butter knife to swirl the chocolates together for a marbled effect.
  7. Sprinkle roasted peanuts and/or flaky sea salt over the top, pressing gently so toppings stick (optional).
  8. Transfer the tray to the refrigerator and chill until firm, about 40-60 minutes. Alternatively, freeze for 20 minutes if in a hurry.
  9. Lift the bark from the pan and break into bite-sized pieces. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container.

Notes

For best results, use high-quality white chocolate with cocoa butter. Melt chocolate slowly to avoid scorching. Swirl gently for distinct patterns. Bark can be customized with different nut butters, toppings, or chocolate types. Store in the fridge for up to 2 weeks or freeze for up to 2 months.
