Salted Dark Chocolate Peanut Bark - just 3 ingredients to make this easy treat. Perfect for Valentines Day

Salted Dark Chocolate Peanut Bark has just three ingredients and is a quick sweet treat to make. Have you ever tried Goobers? I remember Goobers from the movie theater concession stand – peanuts individually coated with chocolate. Somehow what used to taste good when I was a kid doesn’t anymore. I no longer enjoy the chalky chocolate covered peanuts with a plastic-y coating. But I do love good dark chocolate and peanuts.

Recently, I bought some chocolate covered peanuts from Home Goods – one of those impulse purchases as you’re standing in line waiting to pay. I actually bought them for my aunt, who loves nuts and dark chocolate. As it turns out, my son likes chocolate covered peanuts too – he polished off the bag and asked if I could buy some more.

When I tried finding chocolate covered peanuts in the natural products section of the supermarket, I couldn’t find any. So, I decided to make a quick salted dark chocolate peanut bark. Granted it’s not the same as individually chocolate coated peanuts, but it satisfies that chocolate peanut-ty crunchy craving.

How To Make Salted Dark Chocolate Peanut Bark

The key is to use high quality dark chocolate. I used Callebaut dark chocolate. Simply melt the chocolate in a double boiler or use a heatproof bowl that fits on top of a saucepan of simmering water.

Buy unsalted roasted peanuts. Salted peanuts will be way too salty.

Stir the roasted peanuts into the melted chocolate and toss to coat evenly.

Spread on a plastic wrap-lined baking sheet. Sprinkle with some flaky sea salt. I used Australian pink flaky sea salt that a friend gave me.

    That’s exactly how I did my chocolate nut bark! Sometimes I did add a teaspoon of coconut oil, but completely optional.
