There is something about peanut butter combined with chocolate that makes perfect sense. Toss some Reese’s Pieces into the mix and its sheer perfection!
I seriously love bark. I am completely obsessed with bark. I cannot get enough bark. I suppose everyone has their weaknesses. Mine is definitely chocolate.
So much so that I contribute as a Chocolate Fanatic over at Food Fanatic. I love being their Chocolate Fanatic. It could not possibly be a better fit for me. Especially when I get to make things like this Peanut Butter and Chocolate Bark with Reese’s Pieces.
MY LATEST VIDEOS
I eat chocolate daily, I bake with chocolate about 3 or 4 days a week. I stare at chocolate online about every 3.56 minutes. So much chocolate, so little time.
I know some folks believe you should not indulge consistently, but I’m not one of those folks. I believe as long as you don’t go overboard daily you’re doing well.
Now there are certain times of the year all bets are off. Those special holidays you should be able to eat as much chocolate as possible. Halloween is one of those holidays.
For a few short days Halloween candy takes over all our worlds. I say give into it. Don’t fight it. Enjoy those few days fully and eat as much chocolate as possible. Especially this chocolate.
For me chocolate and peanut butter make the perfect combination. I am powerless to resist its charms. I’m usually pretty good about having one bite of something but this bark is an exception. My plan was to leave it this with hubs while I flitted off on a trip. That plan failed. Miserably.
It’s totally okay though. I never feel guilty when I indulge. Life is short. It’s okay to live it up on occasion. If eating a little chocolate each day is wrong, well, I don’t want to be right.

So whoop it up a little for Halloween. In fact, whoop it up a lot. It is a holiday after all. One meant for large consumptions of chocolate. I plan on honouring that tradition. With copious amounts of this stuff.
Hope you whoop it up with me. Whip up this quick and easy peanut butter and chocolate bark with Reese’s Pieces. It’s perfect for Halloween. Or any other day of the year.

I’m totally thinking that any chocolate and peanut butter candies in The Bug’s Halloween stash would be made infinitely better if I use them to make this bark!
Erin @ Texanerin Baking says
I was just thinking, “A Food Fanatic post?! But… I’m sharing a Food Fanatic post today!” And then I realized my FF post is from last year (from before we had the embeddable boxes). Whoops. 😀 Anyway, this looks amazing! Loved the every 3.56 minutes thing. I feel the same!

The swirl you’ve got going on in the bark is absolutely gorgeous. Don’t worry, not too pretty to eat, I still would have no problem scarfing it down 🙂

Kim,
oh my gawd. . I need this bark in my life!! Chocolate on a daily basis is a given, in my book. . it’s like wine too. . a little dark chocolate + wine is good for you right?! Pinned and can’t wait to make this!!
