Ingredients
  

12 oz dark chocolate chips

12 oz white chocolate chips

1 cup crushed pretzels

1 cup freeze-dried strawberries

1/2 cup heart-shaped sprinkles

1/2 cup mini marshmallows

Sea salt (optional, for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare a Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, leaving some overhang for easy removal later.

    Melt the Dark Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the dark chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth and fully melted. Pour the melted chocolate onto the prepared baking sheet and spread it evenly with a spatula. Place it in the fridge for about 10-15 minutes to set.

      Melt the White Chocolate: While the dark chocolate is setting, melt the white chocolate chips in a separate bowl using the same method (30-second intervals in the microwave), stirring until smooth.

        Add Toppings: Once the dark chocolate has set, take the baking sheet out of the fridge. Pour the melted white chocolate over the dark chocolate layer and spread it evenly. Immediately sprinkle the crushed pretzels, freeze-dried strawberries, heart-shaped sprinkles, and mini marshmallows over the white chocolate. Press down gently with your hands to help the toppings stick.

          Final Touches: If desired, sprinkle a bit of sea salt over the top for a sweet-salty contrast.

            Chill and Break: Place the baking sheet back into the fridge for about 30 minutes, or until the entire bark has fully set. Once set, lift the parchment paper from the baking sheet and break the bark into pieces of your desired size.

              Serve and Enjoy: Place the pieces in a decorative box or on a tray and present them to your loved one. Enjoy your beautiful and delicious Sweetheart Candy Bark together!
