The Ingredients
Here’s what you’ll need to make the candy bark (the exact measurements and full recipe instructions are below in the printable recipe card):
- Chocolate chips – we use semi-sweet chocolate chips, but you can use dark chocolate or milk chocolate.
- Creamy peanut butter
- Powdered sugar
- Butter
- Reese’s Pieces
How to Make Reese’s Peanut Butter Chocolate Bark
Line a 10×15-inch cookie sheet with parchment or wax paper.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt 1 1/2 cups of the chocolate chips in 15 second intervals, stirring well between each cooking interval until melted.
Spread the melted chocolate evenly onto the parchment paper. Place in the refrigerator to chill while you move on to the next step.
Place the peanut butter, powdered sugar, and butter in a microwave-safe mixing bowl, then heat on high in the microwave for 20 seconds; stir until smooth.
Spread the peanut butter mixture evenly over the chilled chocolate layer.
Melt the remaining chocolate chips in the microwave in 15 second cooking intervals, then spread over the peanut butter layer.
Top with Reese’s Pieces, then chill the bark in the refrigerator until set (about 60 minutes).
Break the chilled Reese’s Peanut Butter Chocolate Bark into individual servings.
Giving the Candy Bark as a Gift

- Plastic food storage containers

My peanut butter layer did not harden, not sure if it was supposed to. But it made it all squish out the sides when I was trying to break it apart. Made a mess, but tasted great!
Do you think this would work with chocolate graham crackers or chocolate icebox cookies as a base? Just curious
Hi Judy. That sounds great and should work fine!
I’ve not made yet. Going to make for our next fundraiser bake sale for rescue. It looks really easy and delicious!
Love it
Wonderful treat thanks
