Ingredients

  • 5 cups Chocolate Semisweet, Melted
  • 2-3 tablespoon Peanut butter Creamy, Melted
  • 15-20 Saltine crackers E.g. Salted crackers
  • 2 teaspoon Sprinkles

Instructions

  • Line the cookie tray or cake pan with parchment paper. 
  • Pour about 2 cups of melted chocolate in the center.
  • Use a spatula to spread the chocolate over the entire pan.
  • Arrange a layer of salted crackers on top of the chocolate.
  • Pour 3 more cups of melted chocolate in the center.
  • Use a spatula to spread the chocolate completely over the crackers.
  • Drop spoonfuls of melted peanut butter randomly on top of the chocolate.
  • Run a wooden skewer or chopstick through the melted chocolate until you have lots of swirls and a beautiful swirled or marble effect.
  • Toss some sprinkles. 
  • Place pan in the fridge for 20-30 minutes to allow the chocolate and peanut butter to set and harden.
  • Flip the pan onto a table and remove the parchment paper and break the bark into random pieces. You can also use a knife to cut random shapes and enjoy!

Notes

  • You can use more or less chocolate based on your preference. If you want a big emphasis on the peanut butter flavor, then just spread a thin layer of chocolate in each layer of your bark.
  • I highly suggest wearing gloves when breaking this chocolate bark or else the chocolate will start melting due to the heat of your hands and you will end up with ugly smudges.
  • You can add lots of sprinkles, if you like. I only added a small amount, just enough to give this bark a pop of color. In the video, I used white sprinkles but I have also used colorful rainbow sprinkles, as you can see in the pictures. 
  • Read additional tips and variations above.
  • Leftovers can be stored in a sealed container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
