Ingredients
Scale
- 12 oz white chocolate chips
- 8 oz dark or milk chocolate chips
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, thinly sliced
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil (optional, for smoother melting)
Instructions
- Line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper, letting the paper overhang the sides for easy removal.
- Prepare the strawberries: Slice them thinly. Pat the slices very dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. This prevents the chocolate from seizing.
- Melt the white chocolate: Place the white chocolate chips and coconut oil (if using) in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each interval, until completely smooth. Do not overheat.
- Spread the melted white chocolate evenly into the prepared pan.
- Arrange the dried strawberry slices over the white chocolate layer. Press them down slightly.
- Melt the dark or milk chocolate: Repeat the melting process with the second type of chocolate.
- Drizzle or swirl the melted dark chocolate over the strawberries and white chocolate layer. Use a knife or skewer to create a marbled effect if desired.
- Chill the bark: Place the pan in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or until the chocolate is completely firm.
- Remove the bark from the pan using the parchment paper overhang. Break or cut the bark into irregular pieces.
Notes
- Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor and texture.
- Ensure strawberries are completely dry before adding them to the chocolate; moisture causes the chocolate to become stiff and grainy.
- Store the finished bark in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
