Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Swirl Squares

What’s the best food combo? Definitely peanut butter and chocolate!!🍫🥜 My grandparents bought me 72% Ghirardelli dark chocolate for my birthday last week and I absolutely had to make these perfect peanut butter chocolate squares.🤤

I remember when I first fell in love with dark chocolate. I was around 12, and my uncle Josh and aunt Jamie (who are vegans) gave me a 86% dark chocolate bar for Christmas from the local Truck Patch. My parents, siblings, even my best friend, hated the bitter taste! I was the only one who even remotely like it, and from each time I tried dark chocolate after that experience, I’ve learned its the greatest type of chocolate.

My inital thought for this recipe was a copycat dark chocolate Reese’s peanut butter cup. During the process of making these, though, I decided that I’d rather do a swirl of the two ingredients instead. In my opinion, this is a much prettier design!😉

I bought the pink mold with mini squares from Hobby Lobby last year, too. By the way, great buy!!👍 If I’m missing any information or you have any comments, feel free to share them down below!😁
