Salted Chocolate Cookie Butter Bark

 Salted Chocolate Cookie Butter Bark  | 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?

{Not sure what Cookie Butter is? You can read all about it here.}

So I decided that I need to make a holiday treat using Cookie Butter. Do you make holiday treats? Are there some that you make every year, or do you like to change it up?

I like to try out new recipes every year. And since I have been blogging, it has been especially fun to use the holiday season to try out the recipes from some of my fellow bloggers! Last year I made this awesome Gingerbread Oreo Truffle Bark from Jocelyn at Inside BruCrew Life. It was so good! And so genius! Jocelyn talks in the post about how she made it into bark instead of truffles because then there was no rolling and dipping. Score! I love the look of truffles, I loathe rolling and dipping. And everyone knows that they are a total time suck on cookie making day.

Jocelyn’s amazingly genius and delicious idea was the inspiration of for this bark.

Here’s the problem. I went to Trader Joe’s to buy some Cookie Butter for this recipe (and a ridiculously sweet giveaway I have coming up . . . . ) and they were OUT! I couldn’t believe it. I actually asked two store workers and they confirmed that they were in fact out. One of them told me, in fact, that another customer had come in recently and bought an entire wine box full of jars of Cookie Butter, so many in fact that they were falling out of the box!!

Obviously I asked for her name and address.

Here’s the good news! I had some Homemade Cookie Butter at home! Huzzah!

I’ve kind of shied away from the salted treats, and I don’t know why! I love salty and sweet! Just ask the last bowl of chocolate covered pretzels that were left alone with me. This recipe can probably be made a number of different ways, the following is just the way I did it, and it worked great.

Salted Chocolate Cookie Butter Bark

• 3 cups of chocolate chips (I used milk chocolate), divided
• 1 cup of Cookie Butter
• 1 cup of powdered sugar
• 2 TBSPs butter, softened
• 1 tsp Kosher salt

1. Line a pan with wax paper.
2. Melt 1 1/2 cups of the chocolate and spread it thinly and evenly over the wax paper. Stick it in the freezer for a half hour.
3. While that’s in the freezer, combine the cookie butter, powdered sugar, and butter.
4. Pull the chocolate out of the freezer, spread the cookie butter mixture over the frozen chocolate. (I used my fingers, so much easier!!)
5. At this point you could throw it in the freezer again, but I didn’t. Melt the remaining chocolate and spread it evenly over the cookie butter mixture carefully so as to make a smooth layer without mixing in the cookie butter mixture.
6. Top with the salt, you may not need the full 1 tsp.
7. Stick the whole thing in the freezer again. I let mine freeze overnight and it broke up really nicely.
