Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz (225g) dark chocolate (70% cocoa or your choice)
- 8 oz (225g) white chocolate
- 1/2 cup (about 30g) freeze-dried strawberries, crushed into small pieces
- 1/4 cup (25g) mini chocolate chips or chopped dark chocolate (optional for garnish)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the chocolate:
Begin by melting the dark and white chocolates separately. To do this, chop the chocolate into small pieces for even melting. You can melt the chocolate in a heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water (double boiler method) or microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring between each, until fully melted and smooth. - Assemble the bark:
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Pour the melted dark chocolate onto the baking sheet and spread it out into an even layer. Repeat with the white chocolate, pouring it on top of the dark chocolate, and gently swirl them together with a spoon or spatula to create a marbled effect. - Add the toppings:
Sprinkle the crushed freeze-dried strawberries evenly over the melted chocolate. If you like, you can also sprinkle mini chocolate chips or chopped dark chocolate on top for extra texture and flavor. - Chill and set:
Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for at least 1-2 hours, or until the chocolate has completely set and hardened. - Break into pieces:
Once the chocolate is firm, break it into chunks or pieces of your desired size. - Serve and enjoy:
Store the chocolate bark in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1-2 weeks. Enjoy the crisp, chocolatey treat whenever you crave a sweet snack!
Notes
- You can use fresh strawberries, but freeze-dried strawberries give the bark a better crunch and longer shelf life.
- If you want to make this bark even more decadent, drizzle some extra melted chocolate on top before chilling.
- Add more toppings like crushed nuts, sprinkles, or coconut flakes for extra flavor and texture.
