Frequently Asked Questions
→ Can I use almond butter instead of peanut butter?

→ How long can I keep the bark?
Store in a sealed container in the freezer for up to two weeks; thaw briefly before serving.
→ Can I add fresh fruit?
Absolutely—diced strawberries or blueberries add a fresh burst, just be mindful they may release moisture.

Semi‑sweet or dark chips give a nice balance; milk chocolate can be too sweet for this recipe.
