Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Bark

Dark chocolate, peanut butter swirls, and a crunch of nuts and seeds to curb any sweet tooth! A perfect mix of sweet and salty that melts in your mouth, make this dark chocolate peanut butter bark just the way you like it.

The perfect sweet tooth snack

So often as a Registered Dietitian I get labeled as a girl that just sits around grinding her teeth on kale and granola all day…couldn’t be FURTHER from the truth! Which is ultimately why I made this food blog!

Let’s get real, when we’re looking in the trail mix bins at the grocery store, we’re looking for the ones with chocolate bits in them! Who’s with me?? And then, of course, something salty, something with some crunch, and a little bit of color to make it fun. Well, I’ve taken all the things we love about those sweet and salty snacks and put a little spin on it.

Different goodies to try in your chocolate peanut butter bark

This dark chocolate peanut butter bark is quite impossible to screw up, so don’t be afraid to make it your own. Here are some other fillers to try in your bark:

• Coconut flakes
• Got a peanut allergy? Try a different nut butter such as almond butter!
• Craisins
• Pistachios
• Rolled oats
• Espresso beans
• Granola
• Crushed peppermint
• White macadamia nuts

How to store your bark

Since the base of this snack is chocolate, there’s a good chance of it melting! To avoid that sticky mess, once you’ve broken up the bark, throw it in a sealed container and store in the fridge until you need a sweet treat. This also makes for a great frozen treat on hot summer days! Be sure your bark hasn’t softened before sticking in the freezer.

Here’s my recipe, but I challenge you to make it your own!
