Chocolate Strawberry Bark
This Chocolate Strawberry Bark is a simple yet elegant treat made with rich chocolate and bursts of sweet, fruity strawberries. It's the perfect combination of indulgent and refreshing—ideal for gifting, snacking, or satisfying a quick sweet tooth.
Ingredients
- 200 g dark or semi-sweet chocolate chopped
- 100 g white chocolate chopped (optional for drizzle)
- ½ cup freeze-dried strawberries roughly chopped
- Optional toppings: crushed nuts sea salt flakes, mini chocolate chips, or shredded coconut
Instructions
- Prepare a baking tray: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Melt the chocolate: Gently melt the dark or semi-sweet chocolate in a double boiler or in the microwave (stirring every 20–30 seconds until smooth).
- Spread the chocolate: Pour the melted chocolate onto the lined tray and spread it evenly with a spatula into a thin layer (about 1/4 inch thick).
- Add toppings: Sprinkle chopped freeze-dried strawberries evenly over the chocolate. Add any additional toppings if using.
- Optional drizzle: Melt white chocolate separately and drizzle over the top for a decorative finish.
- Chill the bark: Refrigerate the tray for 30–40 minutes, or until completely set.
- Break into pieces: Once set, break the bark into shards or squares and store in an airtight container.
Notes
- Use good-quality chocolate for the best flavor and snap.
- Freeze-dried strawberries provide a tart, crispy contrast and won’t release moisture like fresh berries.
- Store in a cool, dry place for up to one week, or refrigerate for longer shelf life.
