Ingredients
- 1 cup natural peanut butter
- 8 oz dark chocolate (70-85%)
- 1 tbsp coconut oil
Optional Toppings: nuts, shredded coconut, dried fruit, homemade granola, etc.
Instructions
- If the peanut butter isn't spreadable, or if it's too thick or clotted, heat it in the microwave in 10 second intervals and stir it well to make it smooth.
- Pour the liquefied peanut butter onto a baking tray lined with parchment paper and allow the mixture to spread evenly.
- Add the dark chocolate (broken into chunks) and coconut oil to a bowl and microwave in 15 second intervals, and mixing between each 15 seconds until the chocolate is melted and can be poured (ideal temp is 115°F degrees). Another option is to use a double boiler.
- If piping, pour the melted chocolate into a bag and snip off the tip and pipe the chocolate over the peanut butter in loops. You can also pour the chocolate directly from the bowl you melted it in or drizzle it using a spoon if preferred.
- Using a knife, toothpick, or skewer, trail through the peanut butter and chocolate to form swirls. (I've found that an S-like motion vertically and then horizontally works best.)
- Leave plain or top with toppings of your choice and set to chill in the freezer for at least 30 minutes. Once set, remove and peel off the parchment and snap the bark into chunks.
- Store in an airtight container in the fridge or freezer for up to two weeks.
