medium saucepan over medium heat, then add chunky

whisking until well combined. Add peanut butter

mixture into an even layer. Refrigerate for 30

Pour melted semisweet chocolate over chilled mixture
and, using an offset spatula, spread into a thin
layer that covers the entire surface. Refrigerate
until hardened, at least 15 minutes.
Heat remaining 3 tablespoons smooth peanut butter in
a small saucepan until runny. Drizzle peanut butter
over chilled chocolate. Drizzle melted milk
chocolate over peanut butter. Refrigerate until
hardened, about 15 minutes.
Use parchment to lift out chilled block of bars.
Run a sharp knife under hot water, dry well, and
cut into 24 squares, wiping knife between cuts.
Let bars stand at room temperature for 10 minutes
before serving. (Sliced bars can be refrigerated
for up to 1 week or frozen for up to 1 month.)
