I had never had bark until last Christmas when my friend Amy gave my peppermint bark and I fell in love. This year, I will be making my own for holiday gifts, but I decided that it might also be quite tasty to make a chocolate and peanut butter bark with Reese's Pieces.
Bark is quite easy to make. All you need to do is melt whatever types of chocolate, or in this case, chocolate and peanut butter, that you want in different bowls. Simply place about 2 cups of semi sweet chocolate into a bowl and place it into the microwave for 1 minute at a time, stirring between minutes until its just melted. I used semi sweet chocolate chips, and peanut butter chips. Once your chips are melted you want to place a peice of wax paper onto a sheet pan and then drizzle your chocolate and peanut butter until its nicely coated. Then top with Reese's Pieces and place in the refrigerator until solid. After its set, than you can remove it and break the bark into pieces.
