This Easy Buckeye Bark Recipe is a delightful combination of creamy peanut butter and rich chocolate, reminiscent of the classic Buckeye candy. It's perfect for satisfying your sweet cravings in no time.

Ingredients: 12 oz 340g semi-sweet chocolate chips. 1/2 cup 120g creamy peanut butter. 1/2 cup 115g unsalted butter. 1 1/2 cups 180g powdered sugar. 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract. A pinch of salt. 1/2 cup 120g chopped roasted peanuts. 1/4 cup 30g powdered cocoa for dusting.

Instructions: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until the mixture is smooth and well combined. Stir in the creamy peanut butter, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt into the chocolate mixture until smooth. Pour the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and spread it evenly into a thin layer. Sprinkle the chopped roasted peanuts evenly over the chocolate mixture, gently pressing them in. Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator and let it chill for at least 1 hour or until the bark has set. Once set, remove from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for a few minutes to slightly soften. Dust the surface of the bark with powdered cocoa for a finished look. Using a knife or your hands, break the buckeye bark into bite-sized pieces. Enjoy your delicious Buckeye Bark as a sweet treat or share it with friends and family!
