Why You Will Love This Chocolate Strawberry Bark with White Chocolate:
If you have not heard me talk about texture yet, then let me introduce you to my favorite thing about delicious food! The texture of this dessert is actually the best thing ever! The crunchy freeze dried strawberries with the chunks of dark chocolate and the sweet white chocolate is just out of this world. You will love the sweet, tart, and almost buttery flavors of chocolate covered strawberry bark since the pecans add that nutty flavor to set everything off!

Notes and Tips for Chocolate Covered Strawberry Bark:
Having your ingredients ready will make this dessert even faster. I recommend measuring out your chocolate into 2 microwave safe bowls to make their preparation very quick. To get the two chocolates to stick together, you want to melt and pour the white chocolate on top of the base of the bark as quickly as possible.
When preparing your bark, use a parchment paper lined dish. This will make the removal of the bark super quick as the chocolate will not stick to the parchment paper.
I use 6 oz dark chocolate and 4 oz of white chocolate. You can increase the amount of white chocolate but I find that since white chocolate is very sweet, I find this to be a good ratio.
Common Questions Chocolate Covered Strawberry Bark
What Chocolate Works Best For Chocolate Covered Strawberry Bark?
I like to use two different chocolates for this strawberry bark. In this case, dark and white chocolate make a great contrast and are they best chocolates to use for this recipe.
Chocolate chips, melting wafers, or even baking chocolate all work for this bark. Since it is stored cold, you do not need to worry about finding special candy chocolate. If you choose to use baking chocolate, make sure to find one between 50%-60% chocolate! You want a little sweetness for your chocolate strawberry bark.
If you love the flavor of fruit and chocolate then check out my Chocolate Raspberry Nanaimo Bars! They are another easy, no bake dessert that you will love! Made with a graham cookie base and a chocolate curd, this dessert is another great fruit and chocolate dessert.
How Do I Store Chocolate Covered Strawberry Bark?
Strawberry can be stored in the fridge or freezer! You can keep it fresh for about 1 month in either the fridge or freezer, though it likely will not last that long!
I store my strawberry bark in the fridge in a sealed container or just a Ziplok Bag. It never lasts very many days since this recipe is the perfect amount to make for two people to enjoy over the course of about a week!
