1 cup creamy peanut butter Shop
1 cup gluten-free semi-sweet chocolate chips Shop
2 tbsp coconut oil, divided Shop
1/4 cup chopped roasted peanuts or other nuts Shop
1 tsp sea salt

Instructions

1 Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, ensuring it's large enough to hold the bark. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the gluten-free semi-sweet chocolate chips with 1 tablespoon of coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth, about 1-2 minutes total. Be careful not to overheat the chocolate.
2 In a separate microwave-safe bowl, warm the creamy peanut butter with the remaining 1 tablespoon of coconut oil. Microwave for 30-second intervals, stirring until the peanut butter is pourable and smooth, approximately 1 minute. This will ensure a good consistency for swirling.
3 Pour the melted chocolate onto the prepared baking sheet and spread it into an even layer, about 1/4 inch thick, using a spatula. Immediately drizzle the warmed peanut butter over the chocolate layer in random lines. Use a toothpick or the tip of a knife to gently swirl the peanut butter into the chocolate, creating a marbled effect. Work quickly before the chocolate sets.
4 While the chocolate and peanut butter are still wet, sprinkle the chopped roasted peanuts and sea salt evenly over the surface. Gently press them down slightly to adhere them to the bark. This step adds a delightful crunch and salty contrast.
5 Transfer the baking sheet to the refrigerator and chill for at least 20 minutes, or until the bark is completely firm and set. Once hardened, break the bark into irregular pieces by hand or with a knife. Store the gluten-free peanut butter chocolate bark in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
