Line a large cutting board or baking sheet with a 9x13-inch piece of parchment paper.
Wash and dry the strawberries well, then cut off the tops, creating a flat surface. Slice each strawberry into thick slices lengthwise and cut off the rounded edges of the outside pieces so they lay flat.
1 pound fresh strawberries
Arrange strawberries on parchment paper in rows, alternating their direction so the triangular end of each strawberry fits into the gaps in the previous row.
Melt the peanut butter in the microwave for 15-20 seconds and spread it into an even layer over the strawberries. Place the board in the freezer for 5 minutes while you prepare the chocolate.
1½ cups peanut butter
Melt the chocolate and shortening in the microwave in 20-second increments until smooth, stirring well after each interval.
1½ cups semi-sweet chocolate chips, 2 teaspoons vegetable shortening
Pour the melted chocolate over the peanut butter and spread it into an even layer. Immediately top with a sprinkle of sea salt.
Flakey sea salt
Place the board back in the freezer for at least two hours to allow the strawberries to firm up and the chocolate to set.
Slice the bark into pieces and enjoy!

Storage:

To Store: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the freezer for up to three months.

Tips:

Slice off the rounded edges of the strawberries so they lie flat and make the thickness of the slices as even as possible; this will make it easier to spread the peanut butter over them.
Don’t hull the strawberries; instead, use a sharp knife to cut the tops off, creating a flat surface. This will help create a nice, clean board on the edge of the bark.
Arrange strawberries on parchment paper in rows, alternating their direction so the triangular end of each strawberry fits into the gaps in the previous row.
If you are using a natural peanut butter that is already fairly loose, you will not need to microwave it.
Adding vegetable shortening to the chocolate helps thin it out, making it easier to smooth over the peanut butter.
The sea salt is optional but highly recommended as it creates a nice sweet and salty finish.
