Instructions
Line large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Set aside.
In medium bowl, toss together banana chips, pineapple, strawberries, and peanuts until thoroughly mixed. Reserve ½ cup of mixture and set everything aside.
In a medium saucepan over low-medium heat, melt the semi-sweet chocolate, stirring constantly, until smooth. You may also do this in the microwave, melting chocolate in 15 second intervals and stirring thoroughly with a spatula between each interval.
When semi-sweet chocolate is completely melted, pour over the bowl of mixed fruit and nuts and stir until everything is well-coated. Pour mixture onto prepared baking sheet and form into a large rectangle (mine was approximately 8" x 10"). Set aside.
In a small microwave safe bowl, melt the white chocolate on HIGH in 15 second intervals, stirring thoroughly with a spatula between each interval. Drizzle melted white chocolate evenly over semi-sweet chocolate layer (I did this with a decorating bottle, but you may also use a glass container with a spout or simply a spoon or spatula). Sprinkle with reserved fruit and nut mixture, pressing any loose pieces in gently with your fingers. Allow bark to cool until set, about 45 minutes.
When chocolate is completely set, break into desired pieces with your hands or cut with a sharp knife. Store bark in an airtight container at room temperature in a cool, dry place or in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks. You may also freeze bark for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator.
Notes
*If you prefer a sweeter bark, you may use sweetened dried strawberries instead.
