It's super easy to make delicious chocolate peanut butter bark! To make chocolate peanut butter bark, you will need the following ingredients:

2 bags milk chocolate chips 12oz (any brand)
18oz jar creamy peanut butter(any brand)
1/2 c margarine or 1 stick
1 tsp vanilla extract
2c powdered sugar
Large mixing bowl
Baking sheet
Parchment paper

Directions: Pour 1 bag milk chocolate chips into microwave safe bowl. Microwave for 2 mins, checking chocolate every 30 secs to ensure it doesn't burn. Stir until chocolate is smooth and all chips are melted. Pour onto baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Spread out evenly into desired thickness. Keep in mind we are adding 2 more layers. Make sure the chocolate is smooth and evenly spread. Refrigerate 1hr. Now we will make the peanut butter layer. Add the 18oz jar of peanut butter to the large mixing bowl. Melt the stick of margarine or 1/2c about 15secs in the microwave until melted. Pour on top of peanut butter in large mixing bowl. Mix the melted margarine into the peanut butter. Add 1 tsp vanilla extract to the peanut butter mixture. Mix well. Add the powdered sugar to the peanut butter mixture a little at a time, mixing well after each addition. I added a splash of milk because I felt the mixture was too thick. After 1hr, remove the chocolate from the fridge and spread the peanut butter mixture over the chocolate. Spread out evenly over chocolate to the edges. Smooth out the peanut butter mixture. Refrigerate 1hr. Melt the other bag of chocolate in a microwave safe bowl for 2 mins. Stir until smooth and all chips are melted. After 1hr, remove chocolate/peanut butter from fridge. Pour the melted chocolate over the peanut butter layer. Spread out evenly, covering the peanut butter layer. Smooth out chocolate evenly, ensuring all peanut butter layer is covered. Refrigerate 1hr. After 1hr, remove from fridge. Your chocolate peanut butter bark is now ready to serve! You may have to set it out 10-15mins before serving to ensure cutting ease. This was incredibly delicious! If you love peanut butter cups, you'll love this! A perfect gift for peanut butter cup fans! Enjoy!

Note: As far as substitutions like low fat, or sugar free peanut butter, I can't say how this would turn out. I recommend sticking to the recipe for best results.
