Working quickly, pour the melted chocolate into the tin and spread over the surface of the peanut butter mixture.

If you’re decorating the bars with the peanut butter topping, drizzle or pipe the peanut butter mixture over the chocolate in straight lines.

Using a skewer or cocktail stick, drag the peanut butter across the chocolate to create a feathered or marbled effect. Finish by sprinkling with sea salt flakes.

Chill in the fridge for 10 minutes before slicing into bars.
