Chocolate Covered Strawberry Bark

Sometimes the simplest desserts are the most satisfying. This chocolate covered strawberry bark is exactly that easy, beautiful, and absolutely irresistible. I usually make this when I want something festive for Valentine’s week but also want it to feel effortless. Melt chocolate, spread it thin, scatter fresh strawberries on top, and drizzle with white chocolate. That’s it. But somehow, it looks like a dessert you spent hours on.

It is fun to make with friends or kids because there is no precise measuring or piping just spreading, sprinkling, and swirling. The result is a sweet treat with a satisfying crunch, creamy chocolate, and bursts of fresh strawberry flavor. It’s perfect for snacking, gifting, or just keeping a piece (or three) hidden in the fridge for yourself.

Instructions

1. Prepare the Pan: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
2. Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the semisweet chocolate in 20–30 second increments, stirring between each, until smooth. You can also melt in a double boiler.
3. Spread Chocolate: Pour melted chocolate onto the prepared baking sheet and spread into a thin, even layer about 1/4 inch thick.
4. Add Strawberries: Place sliced strawberries evenly over the chocolate while it is still warm.
5. Drizzle White Chocolate: Melt white chocolate using the same method and drizzle over the top using a spoon or small piping bag. Optional: add crushed nuts or edible glitter.
6. Set: Allow chocolate to set at room temperature or place in the fridge for 15–20 minutes until firm.
7. Break: Once set, break into irregular pieces and serve.

Tips

Use room temperature strawberries to avoid moisture making the chocolate seize.

For extra flavor, lightly toast crushed nuts before adding on top.

Store in an airtight container in the fridge up to 5 days.
