Instructions

Begin by lining a baking sheet with parchment paper to ensure the bark doesn’t stick. Next, gently melt the semi-sweet chocolate with half a tablespoon of the oil. You can use a microwave in 20-second bursts, stirring in between, or set up a double boiler on the stovetop to heat it gradually. Spread the melted chocolate onto the parchment paper, creating a thin, even layer.

After letting the semi-sweet chocolate layer set slightly (about 5 minutes), melt the white chocolate with the remaining half tablespoon of oil using the same gentle method. Drizzle or fully spread the white chocolate over the semi-sweet layer. Gently swirl the two chocolates together with a skewer or the tip of a knife to create a pretty marbled effect.

Before the chocolate hardens completely, scatter the crushed freeze-dried strawberries over the top for a burst of fruity flavor and vibrant color. Finish with a tiny sprinkle of sea salt, which will add an extra flavor dimension. Let the bark cool at room temperature until set—around 30 minutes—or place it in the refrigerator to speed up the process.

Once firm, break the bark into rustic pieces. Store it in an airtight container to keep it fresh and crisp for up to one week—if it lasts that long!

This dessert is wonderful for chocolate lovers, strawberry fans, and anyone seeking a festive, eye-catching treat. The varying swirl of white and semi-sweet chocolate provides a nice balance of sweetness, while the freeze-dried strawberries add a tangy crunch. If you’re looking for lighter options, use dark chocolate in place of semi-sweet, or experiment with dried raspberries for a different spin. Whether you need a simple homemade gift or a crowd-pleasing sweet bite at a party, Silky Strawberry Kiss Chocolate Bark is sure to delight.
