Directions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone mat.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until smooth and fully melted.
- In a separate microwave-safe bowl, melt the peanut butter in 30-second intervals until smooth and creamy.
- Stir in the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and salt into the melted peanut butter until well combined.
- Pour half of the melted chocolate onto the prepared baking sheet and spread it into an even layer using a spatula.
- Drop spoonfuls of the peanut butter mixture onto the chocolate layer and use a knife to swirl the two together.
- Pour the remaining melted chocolate over the peanut butter layer and spread it out evenly.
- If desired, sprinkle the chopped peanuts on top of the bark, gently pressing them into the chocolate.
