Now, isn't this a treat to reminisce about simpler times? Strawberry Bark—just the name takes me back to lazy summer afternoons at my grandma’s farmhouse, watching her turn the simplest ingredients into something magical. This 3 Ingredient Strawberry Bark combines creamy peanut butter, ripe strawberries, and rich chocolate, a trio that sings harmony in your mouth. In today’s hustle, this easy recipe invites you to slow down and savor a moment of sweet simplicity. Perfect for whipping up when the grandkids visit, or when you just want a little nibble of nostalgia.
This delightful Strawberry Bark pairs wonderfully with a chilled glass of milk or, for the adults, a robust cup of dark coffee. Present it at the end of a family meal or during afternoon tea as a lovely, light dessert. If you’re feeling extra indulgent, serve alongside a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
3 Ingredient Strawberry Bark
Servings: 10
Ingredients
1 cup chocolate chips (milk or dark depending on preference)
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
1 cup fresh strawberries, sliced thinly
Directions
1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
2. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth.
3. Spread the melted chocolate evenly onto the prepared baking sheet.
4. Dollop the peanut butter over the melted chocolate and use a knife to swirl it through the chocolate, creating a marbled effect.
5. Gently press the sliced strawberries into the chocolate mixture.
6. Refrigerate the bark until completely firm, about 1-2 hours.
7. Once set, break the bark into pieces and enjoy or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
Variations & Tips
For a twist, try adding a sprinkle of sea salt over the chocolate before it sets, or mix in some crushed nuts or toasted coconut for added texture. If allergies are a concern, almond butter or sunflower seed butter can be a good substitute for peanut butter.
