    Pour the melted dark chocolate onto the parchment paper and evenly smooth the chocolate to the thickness you want the bark to be. Immediately drizzle a second layer of the melted peanut butter on top of it.

    Run a toothpick or skewer through both layers in a circular motion to create a swirled effect.

    #SpoonTip: If you want the layers to be less blended and more defined, leave the peanut butter in dollops instead of smoothing over the chocolate layer.

    Break up your peanut butter cups into smaller pieces and sprinkle them onto the bark.

    #SpoonTip: Make sure you place them before the layers begin to harden.
