Hey snack explorers! Ready to dive into a treat that’s going to make your taste buds do a happy dance? Get your taste buds geared up for this awesome Strawberry Bark that combines the bold flavors of dark chocolate, the creamy goodness of peanut butter, and the crunchy magic of The O.G. Granarly blend. Let’s get barkin’!

What You’ll Need:

  • 1 cup dark chocolate chips (for that rich, dreamy chocolate experience)
  • 1/2 cup peanut butter (creamy or crunchy, your call! We’re all about freedom here)
  • 1 cup sliced strawberries (for a punch of fruity flavor and a pop of color)
  • 1/2 cup The O.G. Granarly blend (because granola is always a good idea)
  • A pinch of sea salt (optional, but highly recommended for that extra kick!)

Adventure Time!:

  1. Prep Your Base Camp: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. This is where the magic happens, so make sure it's ready for action!

  2. Melt the Dark Chocolate: Grab a heatproof bowl and set it over a pot of simmering water (double boiler style). Add those dark chocolate chips and stir until melted and smooth. Or, if you’re short on time, zap them in the microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring in between.

  3. Peanut Butter Power-Up: While the chocolate is melting, gently warm the peanut butter in a small saucepan over low heat until it’s nice and pourable. Or microwave it in a bowl for about 20 seconds.

  4. Create Your Bark: Lay 4-5 slices of strawberries on top of the parchment paper to create a "flower" shape. Pour the melted dark chocolate onto each flower, enough to bind the pieces together. Drizzle the warmed peanut butter over the chocolate in a zigzag pattern—be creative!

  5. Add the Good Stuff: Add he O.G. Granarly blend evenly over the chocolate and peanut butter. Give it a light press with your spatula so everything sticks. We had just opened a fresh bag so just added a granola cluster to the top of each one :)

  6. Sprinkle a Pinch of Sea Salt: For those who like a bit of contrast, a tiny sprinkle of sea salt over the top will take this bark from great to legendary!

  7. Chill Out: Pop your bark into the fridge and let it chill for at least 1 hour, or until it’s completely set. Patience is a virtue, and trust us—it’s worth it!

  8. Break and Enjoy: Once set, break the bark into glorious chunks and savor your creation! Share it with friends, or keep it all to yourself—no judgment here!

Final Tip:

Store any leftovers (if there are any!) in an airtight container in the fridge. It’ll stay fresh for up to 2 weeks, but we have a feeling it won’t last that long.

Adventure awaits in every bite! Enjoy your epic Strawberry Bark and let the snacking adventures begin!
