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 the Pan: Line a 9×13-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving enough overhang to lift the bark out easily. Set aside.
  2. Melt First Half of White Chocolate: Place half (8 ounces/227g) of the white chocolate and 1/2 teaspoon vegetable oil in a microwave-safe bowl. Melt in 20-second increments, stirring between each, until smooth. Be careful not to overheat. Pour and spread evenly in the prepared pan. Refrigerate uncovered for 10–15 minutes until set but still soft.
  3. Make Peanut Butter Layer: In a medium bowl, beat the peanut butter and butter with a hand mixer until creamy, about 2 minutes. Add confectioners’ sugar, vanilla extract, and salt; beat until combined, about 1 minute. Spread this mixture evenly over the chilled white chocolate layer. Return the pan to the refrigerator.
  4. Melt Remaining White Chocolate: Repeat the melting process with the remaining white chocolate and 1/2 teaspoon vegetable oil. Pour and spread this melted white chocolate over the peanut butter layer smoothly. Sprinkle chopped Reese’s Pieces evenly on top.
  5. Set the Bark: Refrigerate the bark uncovered for at least 30 to 60 minutes to fully set the white chocolate. For longer storage, cover loosely after 1 hour if kept in the refrigerator.
  6. Cut and Store: Lift the set bark from the pan using the parchment paper edges. Cut into pieces with a sharp knife. Store covered in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or freeze for up to 3 months.

Notes

  • Use quality white chocolate bars rather than chips or candy melts for best melting and flavor results; recommended brands include Ghirardelli, Baker’s, or Lindt.
  • Creamy, processed peanut butter is preferred over natural-style for smooth texture and consistency.
  • You can experiment by using semi-sweet or dark chocolate as the bottom layer instead of white chocolate for a different flavor profile.
  • Recommended tools include a 9×13-inch baking pan, parchment paper, heat-proof bowl or liquid measuring cup, silicone and offset spatulas, and an electric mixer.
