How To Make Peanut Butter Chocolate Bark

It's REALLY easy to make peanut butter chocolate bark! So simple!

Step One - melt the chocolate

• Melt the chocolate in a glass or metal bowl over a pan of boiling water on the hob.

Step Two - smash the peanuts

• Whilst the chocolate is melting, bash the peanuts with a rolling pin to smash them up a little.

Step Three - prepare the cake tin

• Line a 9 inch square tin with greaseproof paper.

Step Four - make the peanut butter chocolate bark

• Pour the melted chocolate into the lined cake tin, and spread it to the edges. You can use a rubber spatula here to help if needed.

Step Five - warm the peanut butter

• Warm the peanut butter in a small pan on the hob. You want the melted peanut butter to be easy to pour. (alternatively microwave for a few seconds)

Step Six - add the peanut butter to the chocolate

• Drizzle the warm peanut butter mixture over the melted chocolate and swirl it into the chocolate to make patterns in the layers. Your can use a fork, end of a knife or toothpick to do this.

Step Six - add the peanuts

• Sprinkle over the chopped peanuts.

Step Seven - let the peanut butter chocolate bark set

• Place the peanut butter bark recipe into the refrigerator and leave to set for around 3-4 hours before breaking into pieces. The peanut butter won't set hard, it will firm up but not set hard like the chocolate.
