PEANUT BUTTER CHOCOLATE BAR RECIPES

Steps:

• Line a small 9 x 13-inch sheet pan with parchment paper. Set aside.
• Chop the chocolate with a knife. Melt the chocolate in the microwave, stirring the chocolate every 30 seconds to help avoid seizing. Once melted and smooth, set aside. This took me about 1 1/2 minutes, but will vary with every microwave.
• Melt the peanut butter in the microwave in 20-second increments, stirring after each increment, until completely smooth, about 4o seconds.
• Pour chocolate onto the prepared baking sheet, spreading with a rubber spatula into a smooth layer.
• Drizzle melted peanut butter mixture in parallel lines on top of chocolate. Run a toothpick or knife through to form swirls.
• Top with a pinch or two of coarse sea salt.
• Allow the bark to set completely in the refrigerator, about 30 minutes.
• Once hardened, break into pieces as large or as small as you want.
• Keep bark stored in an airtight container refrigerated or in a in a cool, dry place for up to 1 week.

Steps:

• In large bowl, mix Chocolate Dough ingredients with spoon until soft dough forms. In another large bowl, mix Peanut Butter Dough ingredients with spoon until soft dough forms. Divide each dough in half; set aside.
• Place one half of the chocolate dough between 2 (17x12-inch) sheets of waxed paper or cooking parchment paper; roll out to 12x7-inch rectangle. Repeat with one half of the peanut butter dough; remove top sheet of waxed paper from both doughs. Invert peanut butter dough onto chocolate dough. Replace waxed paper on dough, and gently roll out to 14x8-inch rectangle. Remove top sheet; trim edges. Starting with long side, roll up dough using bottom sheet of waxed paper to help roll up dough. Wrap dough log tightly with waxed paper; twist ends to enclose. Repeat with remaining cookie doughs. Refrigerate 2 hours 30 minutes or until very firm.
• Heat oven to 375°F. Unwrap 1 of the dough logs; cut into 1/4-inch slices. Place 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheets. Repeat with remaining dough log.
• Bake 7 to 9 minutes or until edges are set. Cool 2 minutes; remove from cookie sheet to cooling rack. Cool completely, about 20 minutes. Store covered in airtight container.
