Dark chocolate layered with dried strawberries, pistachios, almonds, and a hint of rose petals.

# What You'll Need:

→ Chocolate

01 - 14 oz high-quality dark chocolate (60-70% cocoa), chopped

→ Toppings

02 - 2.8 oz dried strawberries, sliced
03 - 2.1 oz roasted pistachios, roughly chopped

# How to Make It:

01 - Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - Melt the dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a pot of gently simmering water using the double boiler method, stirring until smooth. Alternatively, microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each burst, until fully melted.
03 - Pour the melted chocolate onto the prepared baking sheet. Use a spatula to spread it into an even layer approximately 0.2 inches thick.
04 - Immediately sprinkle the dried strawberries, pistachios, almonds, and rose petals evenly over the chocolate. Lightly press the toppings to adhere to the surface.
05 - Sprinkle with a pinch of flaky sea salt if desired.
06 - Allow the bark to set at room temperature for 30 minutes until firm. For faster setting, refrigerate for 15-20 minutes.
