These delightful Sweetheart Peppermint Bark Bites are an easy-to-make, healthy treat infused with strawberry and peppermint, perfect for Valentine's Day or any special occasion.
Equipment
- Food Processor or Mortar and Pestle
- Double Boiler
- Ice Cube Tray
Ingredients
- 0.5 cup dehydrated strawberry powder
- 1 tsp peppermint extract
- 12 oz high-quality dark chocolate 70% cacao or higher, chopped
Instructions
- Prep Your Sweet Red Powder: Begin by crushing your dehydrated strawberry powder into a fine consistency. If needed, a food processor or a mortar and pestle works wonderfully for this step, ensuring a smooth, vibrant addition to your treats.
- Gently Melt the Dark Chocolate: Set up a double boiler over low heat. Carefully place your chopped dark chocolate into the top bowl, allowing it to melt slowly until it's beautifully smooth and glossy. Stir frequently to maintain an even, luxurious texture, preventing any scorching.
- Infuse with Flavor: Once your chocolate is perfectly melted, gently fold in the finely crushed strawberry powder. Then, stir in the peppermint extract, ensuring it's evenly distributed throughout the mixture for a delightful burst of flavor. Carefully remove the bowl from the heat.
- Shape Your Love Bites: Delicately pour the warm chocolate and strawberry-peppermint mixture into an ice cube tray, filling each section evenly. This will create perfectly portioned, heart-healthy bites.
- Chill to Perfection: Place the ice cube tray into the freezer for about 60 minutes, or until each individual bite is firm and set. Once hardened, pop them out of the tray and savor these delightful, easy-to-make treats!
