  7. Pour the remaining melted chocolate over the peanut butter layer and spread it out evenly.
  8. If desired, sprinkle the chopped peanuts on top of the bark, gently pressing them into the chocolate.
  9. Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for about 1 hour, or until the bark is fully set.
