Scale

10 oz semi-sweet or dark chocolate (chips or chopped bar)
6 oz white chocolate (chips, bar, or melting wafers)
1 cup freeze-dried strawberries, lightly crushed
1/8 tsp fine salt (plus optional flaky salt for topping)
Optional: 1/2 tsp coconut oil (to thin white chocolate for drizzling)
Optional toppings: Valentine sprinkles, crushed pretzels, chopped pistachios, shredded coconut

1. Line a baking sheet or flat tray with parchment paper
2. Melt the semi-sweet or dark chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 20–30 second bursts, stirring until smooth
3. Pour melted chocolate onto the parchment and spread into a rough rectangle about 1/4 inch thick
4. Melt the white chocolate in short bursts, stirring often, and add coconut oil if needed for a smooth drizzle
5. Drizzle white chocolate over the base and swirl gently with a toothpick or skewer
6. Immediately sprinkle freeze-dried strawberries evenly over the top and add sprinkles or nuts if using
7. Finish with a tiny pinch of flaky salt if desired
8. Refrigerate 20–30 minutes until firm, then lift by the parchment and break into pieces

Freeze-dried strawberries are best because they add flavor without moisture that softens chocolate
Avoid fresh strawberries; they can cause sweating, softness, and chocolate bloom
For smoother melting, chop chocolate bars instead of using chips when possible
White chocolate overheats easily; melt in short bursts and stir frequently
Add toppings while chocolate is still wet so they stick firmly
For cleaner snap, let bark set at cool room temperature first, then chill briefly before breaking
Store airtight in a cool place to prevent humidity from making strawberries sticky
Bloom (white streaks) is cosmetic and safe to eat; it happens with temperature swings
Make it extra pink by dusting crushed freeze-dried strawberry powder over the top
Use parchment between layers if stacking to prevent sticking and smudged swirls
