Salted Chocolate Cookie Butter Bark is an easy and delicious chocolate bark recipe that is the perfect combination of salty and sweet!
You all know that I have a huge obsession with Cookie Butter, right? So I decided that I need to make a holiday treat using it. It came together in the most perfect way, and the result was an irresistible treat!
How to Make Cookie Butter Bark
This is a brief overview of how to make this delicious treat. For the full recipe with all of the ingredients, please see the recipe card at the bottom of the post.
- Prepare a pan. Line a rimmed baking sheet with wax paper.
- Make the first layer of the bark. After melting chocolate, spread it out on the prepared baking sheet. Don’t spread the chocolate too thin. Pop it in the freezer to help it set.
- Make the filing. Combine cookie butter, powdered sugar, and butter.
- Finish off the bark. Take the chocolate out of the freezer. Top with the cookie butter filling. This is easiest when you use clean fingers. Top with the remaining melted chocolate. Add a little salt.
- Let it set. Once it sets, you can break it up. I you want it to set quickly put it back in the freezer so it breaks up easily.
Cookie Butter
What is Cookie Butter?
Cookie butter is a spread that is made out of gingersnap like cookies. It typically has the consistency of peanut butter, but is very much a treat. I you can’t find cookie butter at the store, you can order some online using the link you see above. You can also make some of our homemade cookie butter. While it is more grainy than store-bought cookie butter, it works perfectly in dessert recipes.
Homemade Cookie Butter
Storing
Store the bark in an airtight container for up to one week. This recipe can be kept at room temperature. Alternatively, store in the freezer in an air-tight container for up to three months. As with all recipes, use your best discretion when it comes to leftovers.

Why can’t I print this recipe, it looks great.
It’s an older recipe, Marty. One that I wrote before using my current format. Sorry! Copy and paste into a word doc? Some day when (probably in 18 years when my kids are gone) I’ll make them all printable, lol :)

What size pan should one use? I used a 9″ square pan and they came out thicker than your picture so I assume a larger pan would give the thinner “bark” look?
You know, Barbara, a better blogger would have put the pan size in the recipe. Sorry about that! I used a 10 by 16 inch pan. Though I have to say . . . I kind of think I might go your route next time, a thicker bark of this variety wouldn’t last long around me!

I’ve made this amazing recipe twice now and it was a huge hit for all guests! My only problem was that it seems to melt easily and become a bit messy. I keep it cold until time to serve, but it gets soft quite fast. Any tips to keep the chocolate from getting soft?
Ugh. Sorry Carlee! So, you could use Candy Quick and or candy melts and it would likely harden without the melting issue. However! I can’t speak to the taste. If you should give it a go, I would love for you to report back! Thanks!

I don’t know if you’ll see this, I just realized 2013 was 10 years ago and not yesterday like I assumed. But- I made this for my high school students once and then had to make it about 30 more times over the next few years because they requested it for EVERY special occasion and “class reward.” I’m headed to my in-laws tomorrow and can’t wait for them to try it! If I don’t finish it off myself first.
Awww, this absolutely makes my day!
