Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups chopped dark chocolate
- 3 tablespoons food-grade dried rose petals (or substitute any type of pink or red toppings you prefer such as pomegranate arils or freeze-dried raspberries)
- 1 tablespoon freeze-dried strawberry powder (optional)
Instructions
- Add the chopped dark chocolate to a pot on the stove set to low heat.
- Cook, stirring constantly, until the chocolate has melted, then immediately remove the pot from the heat.
- Transfer the melted chocolate to a sheet pan lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat, then use a flat spatula or the back of a spoon to spread it into a thin layer (aim for approximately 1/4 inch thickness).
- Immediately sprinkle the food-grade dried rose petals, freeze-dried strawberry powder, or any other pink or red toppings you prefer onto the melted chocolate.
- Place the sheet pan in the fridge to let the chocolate bark harden for at least one hour, then break into shards.
Notes
- Store this Valentine’s Day chocolate bark in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two weeks (unless you’re substituting pomegranate arils, in which case it should stay fresh for about three days).
