Which type of cottage cheese should I use?

I recommend using a full fat cottage cheese. The extra fat content makes for a bark with a perfectly creamy texture! You should also try to use a cottage cheese that isn't too salty. I used Good Culture Whole Milk Cottage Cheese and it worked perfectly.

Instructions

First add the cottage cheese and maple syrup to a food processor or high-speed blender. Blend until smooth.
Next line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Transfer the cottage cheese mixture to the sheet and spread out into a large rectangle, about a 1/4 inch thick.
Melt the chocolate chips in a small microwave-safe bowl in the microwave. Do 15 second intervals, stirring in between each one, until completed melted and smooth.
Then add the toppings to the cottage cheese bark. Add the graham cracker crumbles and fresh berries to one half of the bark. Add the melted chocolate, peanut butter, and peanuts to the other half. I like to add dollops of melted chocolate and peanut butter and then use a toothpick to make the design. See my Expert Tips section for more pointers!
Place the bark in the freezer for 2-3 hours until it is completely solid and hardened.
Once solid, cut the frozen bark into 12 squares.
Enjoy! Store leftovers in the freezer.
