Serves
8–10 portions
Prep Time
15 minutes
Chill Time
1 hour
Total Time
1 hour 15 minutes
Ingredients
- 200g milk chocolate
- 150g dark chocolate
- 120g smooth peanut butter
- 150g fresh strawberries, chopped
- 2 tbsp crushed peanuts
- 1 tsp coconut oil (optional for extra shine)
- Pinch of sea salt
Method
Step 1 — Prepare the Tray
Line a baking tray, shallow dish or chopping board with baking parchment.
This will help the bark release easily once chilled.
Step 2 — Melt the Chocolate
Break the milk and dark chocolate into a heatproof bowl.
Melt gently using either a microwave in short bursts or over a saucepan of simmering water, stirring until smooth and glossy.
Stir in the coconut oil if using.
Step 3 — Create the Peanut Butter Layer
Warm the peanut butter slightly so it becomes easier to drizzle and spread.
Pour the melted chocolate onto the lined tray and spread evenly using a spatula or spoon.
Drizzle over the peanut butter and swirl gently through the chocolate using a knife or skewer to create a marbled effect.
Step 4 — Add the Toppings
Scatter over the chopped strawberries and crushed peanuts.
Finish with a light pinch of sea salt to balance the sweetness.
Step 5 — Chill Until Set
Transfer the tray to the fridge for around 1 hour or until fully set.
Once firm, break into rustic pieces or slice into squares before serving.
Chef’s Tip
Pat the strawberries dry before adding them to the chocolate to help the bark stay fresher for longer.
For extra texture, try adding crushed pretzels, granola or white chocolate drizzle.
Storage
Store the bark in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Serve chilled for the best texture and flavour.
