Chocolate Strawberry Clusters

You can make them using just two ingredients, sliced strawberries and melted chocolate. Or you can add more ingredients, such as bananas, peanut butter or salt. You can even use different types of chocolates. You can also add toppings at the end such as crushed nuts or sprinkles. This treat is truly customizable to your preferences - which is one of the best parts!

Equipment

  • baking sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Cookie sticks

Ingredients
  

  • Strawberries
  • White chocolate
  • Dark chocolate
  • Peanut butter

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to it's lowest temperature, my oven goes to 170 F degrees.
  • Prepare baking sheet by placing parchment paper on it.
  • Wash your strawberries by soaking them in a solution of cold water and a small amount of baking soda or vinegar. Then rinse them thoroughly with cold water, and pat them dry to ensure the chocolate will stick.
  • Cut them into your preferred size. Using a fruit chopping tool makes it easier and faster.
  • Line your baking sheet with 4-6 chocolate bars and place in the oven for about 5-7 minutes.
  • You can use any chocolate flavor but I used half dark and half white because it makes for a very pretty end product when you swirl them together.
  • Any chocolate brand works but using the same brand for all of the bars will melt the best due to being the same size.
  • Once the chocolate is melted enough, take the chocolate out of the oven and swirl it together.
  • This step is really only necessary if you did different chocolate flavors (such as white and dark). But make sure you don't over-mix the two colors because it'll just become one.
  • Add lots of strawberries to your chocolate before it begins to harden.
  • I try to fill the entire area with strawberries and then press then down slightly to avoid them falling out later on. I leave a little space between the strawberries to show the chocolate!
  • Place a spoonful or two of peanut butter in a ziplock bag & cut a small corner off (a smaller hole makes a thinner drizzle).
  • Drizzle the peanut butter across the chocolate sheet.
  • Freeze for 20 minutes (or until peanut butter hardens).
  • Remove the baking sheet from the freezer. Lift the chocolate fruit bark out of the baking sheet by lifting the edges of the parchment paper. Place it on the cutting board, parchment paper facing down.
  • Cut into squares - size is up to your preference.

Notes

You can use vegan chocolate, sugar-free chocolate, any nut butter, or yogurt as an alternative to coating the fruit as well!

Proper Storage Methods
Storing chocolate strawberry clusters is really easy! I store them in an airtight container in the freezer so the peanut butter remains hardened. You can do the fridge if it's just chocolate and strawberries, however, the freezer is preferred.
How Long Do They Last?
In the fridge, these chocolate treats should last 4-5 days. But much longer in the freezer! You can always make a few batches and store in the freezer since it lasts so much longer.
