Instructions

Chocolate Topping

  Or use double boiler method - (pot of boiling water with a bowl resting on top) melt the chocolate chips and the coconut oil together.

  Pour melted chocolate over the peanut butter layer and spread out with a spoon until all of the bark is covered.

  Optionally top your bark with some flaky salt, then place back in the freezer to set for 3-4 hours until its completely frozen.
