Print Recipe Pin Recipe
Prep Time 10 minutes
Freeze Time 2 hours
Total Time 2 hours 10 minutes
Servings 12 Pieces

Ingredients
  

  • Bark:
  • 2 cups 340g dark chocolate chips or chopped dark chocolate
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil for the chocolate
  • ½ cup 130g creamy peanut butter, slightly warmed
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil stirred into the peanut butter
  • Toppings:
  • ¼ cup 35g roasted peanuts, roughly chopped
  • 2 tablespoons toasted sliced almonds or cashews
  • 1 tablespoon toasted coconut flakes optional
  • 1 teaspoon flaky sea salt
  • 1 tablespoon mini chocolate chips optional

Instructions
 

  • Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Melt chocolate chips with 1 tablespoon coconut oil in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth and glossy.
  • Stir 1 tablespoon coconut oil into the peanut butter until smooth and fluid. Warm 15 seconds if needed.
  • Pour melted chocolate onto the parchment and spread into an even layer 3 to 4mm thick.
  • Drop spoonfuls of warmed peanut butter over the chocolate surface. Swirl with a toothpick or knife tip in long sweeping strokes to create ribbons. Do not over-swirl.
  • Immediately scatter chopped peanuts, almonds, coconut flakes, and any toppings over the wet surface. Press gently to adhere. Finish with a generous scatter of flaky sea salt.
  • Freeze for a minimum of 2 hours until completely solid.
  • Remove from the freezer, break into irregular pieces immediately, and transfer to an airtight container lined with parchment between layers. Store in the freezer.

Notes

  • chocolate — work fast
  • Warm and thin the peanut butter before swirling for fluid ribbons, not thick lumps
  • Use 5 to 8 confident swirl strokes — over-swirling muddies the colors together
  • Flaky sea salt is essential — it elevates the entire flavor, do not skip it
  • Give the full 2-hour freeze before breaking — partially frozen bark will not snap cleanly
  • Break and transfer to the container immediately — bark softens within 3 to 5 minutes at room temperature
  • Store with parchment between layers to prevent sticking
  • Keeps in the freezer in an airtight container for up to 6 weeks
  • Do not store at room temperature — this bark is designed to be kept and eaten frozen
  • Natural peanut butter works — stir very thoroughly before use, so no oil separation remains
