Notes
Use high-quality dark chocolate for the best flavor and texture.Freeze-dried strawberries work best to avoid excess moisture.Avoid fresh strawberries as they can cause the chocolate to seize or not set properly.For a decorative finish, drizzle melted white chocolate over the bark after spreading.Store in a cool place to prevent melting.
