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.

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.

Making truffles in bark just makes so much more sense to me…of course that could be the impatient side of me talking ;-) love the cookie butter and salt in yours. Yum! I think I would eat way too much of this if it was here now.
Thanks Jocelyn! I was starting to eat so much of it! It got sent away :)

Oh YUMMMMM

I made this and if was delicious! My only problem – when I let it sit out at room temperature it gets soft and kind of chewy – any advice on how to make it stay hard?

Hi Kacie!! I’m glad you like it! I just made this again the other day and had the same problem. It should be added to the post (and will be) that it needs to be refrigerated. Thank you for letting me know!

Can’t wait to try another cookie butter recipe. These sound fabulous. But, what size pan works best?
I used a regular jelly roll pan, and I believe the dimensions are 10 by 16. But keep in mind that you won’t have enough chocolate to spread out all the way to the edges of the pan.
