Perfect for a sweet snack or gift, this recipe is simple to prepare and requires no cooking, just melting and assembling layers in the refrigerator.

Ingredients

Scale

White Chocolate Layer

  • 16 ounces (454g) white chocolate, coarsely chopped and divided
  • 1 teaspoon vegetable oil, divided

Peanut Butter Layer

  • 1 cup (250g) creamy peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup (4 Tbsp; 56g) unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
  • 1 cup (120g) confectioners’ sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Topping

  • 1/2 cup (100g) chopped Reese’s Pieces candies

Instructions

  1. Prepare Pan: Line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, allowing enough overhang on the sides to lift the bark out easily once set. Set aside for later use.
  2. Melt First White Chocolate Layer: In a medium microwave-safe bowl, combine half of the white chocolate (8 ounces/227g) and 1/2 teaspoon of vegetable oil. Melt in 20-second intervals, stirring thoroughly after each until smooth. Pour this melted white chocolate evenly into the prepared pan to cover the bottom. Refrigerate uncovered for 10–15 minutes to soften and set slightly.
  3. Make Peanut Butter Layer: Using a hand or stand mixer fitted with a paddle, beat the peanut butter and softened butter together until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes. Scrape down the bowl as needed. Incorporate confectioners’ sugar, vanilla extract, and salt, mixing until fully combined, about 1 minute. Dollop and spread this peanut butter mixture evenly over the first white chocolate layer in the pan. Return the pan to the refrigerator.
  4. Melt Second White Chocolate Layer: Repeat the melting process for the remaining white chocolate (8 ounces/227g) with 1/2 teaspoon vegetable oil. Pour and spread this melted chocolate evenly over the peanut butter layer. Immediately sprinkle the chopped Reese’s Pieces candies evenly on top.
  5. Set the Bark: Refrigerate the pan, uncovered, for at least 30 to 60 minutes until the white chocolate fully sets. If refrigerating longer than an hour (up to a day), cover loosely to prevent condensation, noting that the top layer may crack slightly when cutting due to the cold.
  6. Cut and Store: Lift the bark out of the pan using the parchment paper edges and transfer to a cutting board. Use a sharp knife to cut into desired pieces. Store the bark covered in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or freeze for up to 3 months.

Notes

  • Melting white chocolate in short intervals prevents overheating and graininess.
  • Allow the layers to chill properly to achieve firm, easy-to-cut bark.
  • Top layer cracking after refrigeration is normal and won’t affect taste.
  • Store bark in an airtight container to maintain freshness and texture.
  • Use an offset spatula for smooth, even spreading of each layer.
