Ingredients
  

1 cup dark chocolate chips

1 cup white chocolate chips

1/2 cup freeze-dried strawberries, crushed

1/4 cup chopped nuts (almonds or hazelnuts)

1/4 cup mini marshmallows

1 tablespoon pink sprinkles

Sea salt for sprinkling

Instructions
 

Prepare the Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.

    Melt the Dark Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, heat dark chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until fully melted and smooth.

      Spread the Dark Chocolate: Pour the melted dark chocolate onto the prepared baking sheet and spread it evenly into a rectangular shape, about 1/4 inch thick. Use a spatula for a smooth finish.

        Chill to Set: Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for about 10-15 minutes, or until the dark chocolate is set but not hard.

          Melt the White Chocolate: In another microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate chips in the same manner as the dark chocolate until smooth.

            Drizzle White Chocolate: Remove the baking sheet from the refrigerator. Use a spoon or a piping bag to drizzle the melted white chocolate over the set dark chocolate in a zigzag pattern for a decorative look.

              Add Toppings: Immediately sprinkle the crushed freeze-dried strawberries, chopped nuts, mini marshmallows, pink sprinkles, and a pinch of sea salt over the top while the white chocolate is still melted.

                Final Chill: Return the baking sheet to the refrigerator once more for about 30 minutes to allow the bark to fully set.

                  Break into Pieces: Once set, remove the bark from the parchment paper and break it into pieces using your hands or a knife.

                    Serve or Gift: Package the bark in decorative bags or boxes for gifting or serve on a beautiful platter to share.
