Chocolate-Peanut Butter Bark

This is a candy that requires no tempering of chocolate or fussing at all.  It makes the perfect gift.  And it makes enough to provide for several of your favorite people.  This is creamy, chocolatey, peanut-butterness that's unlike anything you'll find in the candy aisle.  Once you make this (and eat all the small pieces that you don't give away), you'll want to whip up a batch for every holiday, birthday and celebration.  Note that it should be kept cold, as it will get too soft if left out. 

Chocolate Peanut Butter Bark

1 pound plus 2 ounces good quality white chocolate, finely chopped
1 1/2 cups super chunky peanut butter

8 oz. bittersweet or semisweet chocolate, finely chopped

Lightly butter a 15x10 jelly roll pan (or cookie sheet with sides).  Line with waxed paper or parchment paper.  In a large glass or stainless bowl, put the 1 pound of white chocolate and the peanut butter.  Place over a saucepan of simmering water.  Stir occasionally until chocolate is melted and mixture is smooth.

Meanwhile melt the bittersweet chocolate in a medium bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water, stirring occasionally.  And in a small bowl, melt the remaining 2 ounces of white chocolate set over a saucepan of simmering water, stirring often.

Remove all bowls from over the water.  Pour peanut butter/white chocolate mixture onto prepared pan, spreading to cover surface completely.  Using a spoon drizzle the melted bittersweet chocolate in lines over peanut butter mixture.  Using the tip of a small sharp knife, draw swirls through drizzled chocolate to marbleize.  And using another spoon, drizzle melted white chocolate over entire mixture, drawing a knife through to marbleize.  Chill until very firm, at least 2 hours or overnight.  Cut into 2-inch triangle or other fun shapes.  Serve cold.
