Instructions:
Prepare the Baking Dish:
Line an 8×8-inch baking dish or a similar-sized pan with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal later.
Melt the Chocolate:
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth. Alternatively, you can melt them using a double boiler.
Spread the Chocolate:
Pour the melted chocolate into the prepared baking dish and spread it evenly using a spatula. Tap the dish lightly on the counter to remove any air bubbles.
Prepare the Caramel:
In another microwave-safe bowl, combine the caramels and heavy cream. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the caramels are completely melted and smooth.
Layer the Caramel:
Pour the melted caramel over the chocolate layer in the baking dish, spreading it evenly.
Add Peanuts:
Sprinkle the peanuts over the caramel layer, pressing them in gently to ensure they stick.
Chill:
Refrigerate the bark for at least 1-2 hours, or until fully set.
Break into Pieces:
Once set, lift the bark out of the pan using the parchment overhang. Break it into pieces of your desired size.
Store:
Store the bark in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator.
Tips:
Feel free to customize this bark by adding other ingredients like pretzels, crushed cookies, or different nuts.
You can drizzle melted white chocolate over the top for a decorative touch.
