Otis Spunkmeyer has been a trusted name in delicious desserts for years! I can still remember in elementary school when their cookies would be 4 for $1 and I would go NUTS! Something about those chewy and amazing cookies that would make school very worth it! I am so excited to be working with Otis Spunkmeyer on this recipe, as they have just come out with an AMAZING line of retail products, sold at a store near you! They have everything from muffins, the mini cupcakes, to frozen cookie dough, and even SUPER COOKIES! Be still my heart. They’re guaranteed to be made with “no funky stuff”, just like you would make your family treats at home. No artificial colors, flavoring, high fructose corn syrup, or over-processed oils. Just the amazing quality you already know and love from Otis Spunkmeyer!

How to Make Peanut Butter Chocolate Bark

All you need for this bark recipe is chocolate chip cookies, milk chocolate, peanut butter, and chocolate chunks. So much chocolate, just the way I like it. This is one of the simplest and most fun treats to make.

  1. Line your baking sheet with wax paper.
  2. Pour the melted chocolate directly onto the wax paper, and use a spatula to spread it out into a thin layer.
  3. Next, pour the peanut butter over the chocolate and swirl it together.
  4. Then press the crumbled pieces of cookie into the chocolate, and do the same with the chocolate chunks. There are no rules about how you place them, so just press everything in.
  5. Place the baking sheet in the freezer until it hardens (should take about 2 hours).
  6. Then you can break the bark up into pieces, and store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

What I love about recipes like this is that you can easily change things up. Follow the same general steps and add your favorite ingredients into the mix. Making chocolate bark is really just a bar of chocolate, filled with whatever you want. Add different types of chocolate, candies, berries, etc. to make your own creation!
