Number Of Ingredients 8

1 (18 1/4 ounce) package yellow cake mix
1 cup chunky peanut butter
8 tablespoons butter, melted

Stir and cook until the chocolate is melted and the mixture is well combined, 3-4 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the vanilla. Pour the chocolate mixture over the crust, and spread it evenly so that it reacheds the sides of the pan. Crumble the reserved crust and scatter it evenly over the chocolate. Place in the oven.
  • Bake until light brown, 25 to 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and place on a wire rack to cool for at least 30 minutes before cutting.
  • Cut into 48 bars. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator up to one week. (If they last that long) These freeze beautifully.

DOUBLE CHOCOLATE PEANUT BUTTER BARK



Double Chocolate Peanut Butter Bark image

Categories     Chocolate     Nut     Dessert     Christmas     Kid-Friendly     Peanut     Winter     Chill     Bon Appétit     Small Plates

Yield Makes about 2 1/4 pounds

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 pound plus 2 ounces imported white chocolate (such as Lindt or Callebaut), finely chopped
1 1/2 cups super chunky peanut butter (do not use old-fashioned or freshly ground)
8 ounces bittersweet (not unsweetened) or semisweet chocolate, finely chopped

Steps:

  • Butter 15x10-inch jelly roll pan. Line with waxed paper or parchment. Melt 1 pound white chocolate with peanut butter in large bowl set over saucepan of simmering water, stirring occasionally until chocolate is melted and smooth.
  • Meanwhile, melt bittersweet chocolate in medium bowl set over saucepan of simmering water, stirring occasionally. Melt remaining 2 ounces white chocolate in small bowl set over saucepan of simmering water, stirring constantly.
  • Remove all bowls from over water. Pour peanut butter mixture onto prepared pan, spreading to cover surface completely. Using spoon, drizzle melted bittersweet chocolate in lines over peanut butter mixture. Draw tip of small sharp knife through chocolate-drizzled mixture to marbleize. Using spoon, drizzle melted white chocolate over. Draw tip of knife through chocolates to marbleize. Chill until firm, at least 2 hours or over-night. Cut into 2-inch triangles or other shapes. Cover and chill. (Can be made 2 weeks ahead. Keep chilled.) Serve cold.

Tips:

  • Choosing the Right Chocolate: Use high-quality chocolate chips or chopped chocolate bars for the best flavor and texture.
  • Measuring Flour Correctly: For accurate measurements, use a kitchen scale to weigh the flour instead of using measuring cups.
  • Mixing the Dough: Do not overmix the dough to prevent tough cookies. Mix just until the ingredients are well combined.
  • Chilling the Dough: Chilling the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking helps the cookies hold their shape and prevents them from spreading too much.
  • Baking the Cookies: Bake the cookies until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set. Overbaking can dry out the cookies.
  • Cooling the Cookies: Let the cookies cool completely on a wire rack before frosting or decorating them.
