How to Make Cookie Butter Bark
This is a brief overview of how to make this delicious treat. For the full recipe with all of the ingredients, please see the recipe card at the bottom of the post.
- Prepare a pan. Line a rimmed baking sheet with wax paper.
- Make the first layer of the bark. After melting chocolate, spread it out on the prepared baking sheet. Don’t spread the chocolate too thin. Pop it in the freezer to help it set.
- Make the filing. Combine cookie butter, powdered sugar, and butter.
- Finish off the bark. Take the chocolate out of the freezer. Top with the cookie butter filling. This is easiest when you use clean fingers. Top with the remaining melted chocolate. Add a little salt.
- Let it set. Once it sets, you can break it up. I you want it to set quickly put it back in the freezer so it breaks up easily.
