Ingredients
Scale
Chocolate Layer
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup peanut butter chips
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
Peanut Butter Layer
- 1 1/2 cups creamy peanut butter
- 3 tbsp softened butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
Topping
- 1 cup Reese’s pieces
Instructions
- Prepare baking sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat and set aside to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
- Melt chocolate mixture: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips, peanut butter chips, and vegetable oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the mixture is completely melted and smooth.
- First chocolate layer: Pour half of the melted chocolate mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spreading it evenly into a roughly 9×13 inch rectangle. Place it in the fridge or freezer to allow the chocolate to harden.
- Prepare peanut butter layer: While the chocolate sets, combine the creamy peanut butter, softened butter, vanilla extract, and powdered sugar in a mixing bowl. Stir until the mixture is well combined and smooth.
- Add peanut butter layer: Drop spoonfuls of the peanut butter mixture evenly over the chilled chocolate layer. Use a spatula or the back of a spoon to gently press and spread the peanut butter into an even layer.
- Top with remaining chocolate: Pour the remaining melted chocolate mixture over the peanut butter layer, spreading it to fully cover the layer beneath.
- Add Reese’s pieces: Sprinkle Reese’s pieces candies evenly atop the final chocolate layer for added color, texture, and flavor.
- Chill to set: Transfer the entire bark back to the fridge or freezer until it is completely set and firm, then break it into pieces and serve.
Notes
- Use salted butter or unsalted butter with a pinch of salt for better flavor. Margarine is not recommended as it affects taste and texture.
- For a variation, almond bark can be substituted for the chocolate chips.
- If desired, real peanut butter may be added to the chocolate mixture as a substitute for peanut butter chips, though this may alter texture slightly.
- Store Reese’s Bark in an airtight container in the fridge to maintain freshness and firmness.
