Buckeye Bark

1 stick of butter

1 jar of creamy peanut butter

1 tsp. of vanilla

1 lb. of powdered sugar

12 oz. bag of semi-sweet chocolate chips

1 tbs. vegetable shortening

Cream butter, peanut butter and vanilla together in a mixing bowl, adding powdered sugar until mixed thoroughly. Flatten mixture over wax lined baking sheets.

Melt chocolate chips and shortening together in the top of a double boiler over low heat.

Pour chocolate mixture over peanut butter mixture, spread evenly with spatula.

Dust with powdered sugar and place in refrigerator to cool.

Buckeye Bark stores best in covered container in refrigerator.


This is my favorite recipe because it looks like Buckeye tree bark.

It’s the bark you can bite!

Buckeye Bark goes great with milk or coffee!
