Ingredients
Scale
- 12 oz (340 g) semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 8 oz (227 g) white chocolate baking bars (Baker’s)
- 1 cup freeze-dried strawberries (Just Strawberries)
- ½ cup salted pretzel sticks
- sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
- Preparation: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, creating a smooth surface for chocolate artistry.
- Chocolate Melting: Gently melt semi-sweet and white chocolate in microwave-safe bowls, stirring at intervals to achieve a glossy, uniform texture. Exercise extra caution with white chocolate to prevent scorching.
- Layering: Spread semi-sweet chocolate across the prepared sheet, forming a 9 by 12 inch rectangular base. Artfully drop white chocolate dollops, creating a canvas for marbling.
- Decorative Technique: Drizzle remaining semi-sweet chocolate over white chocolate spots. Use a toothpick to create intricate swirls, blending chocolates with delicate, sweeping motions.
- Topping Assembly: Strategically arrange pretzel sticks and scatter freeze-dried strawberries across the surface. Gently press toppings to secure their placement, ensuring visual appeal and textural contrast.
- Chilling and Serving: Refrigerate the chocolate bark for 45 minutes until fully solidified. Transfer to a cutting board and slice into irregular, rustic pieces, ready for enjoyment.
Notes
- Prevent Chocolate Burning: Microwave chocolate in short intervals, stirring frequently to avoid scorching and maintain smooth texture.
- Temperature Control: White chocolate melts faster and burns easier, so use lower heat and watch carefully during melting process.
- Surface Preparation: Use parchment paper for smooth chocolate spreading and easy removal of finished bark.
- Topping Technique: Press toppings gently into melted chocolate to ensure they adhere securely when bark hardens.
