Equipment
- 1 Cookie sheet
- 1 parchment paper
Ingredients
- 16 ounces semi-sweet chocolate bar cut into equally-sized small pieces
- 4 ounces white chocolate cut into equally-sized small pieces
- 6 pieces Golden Oreos
- 1/4 Cup Valentines m&m's
- 1/8 Cup Freeze-dry strawberries roughly crushed with your fingers
- 1/8 Cup Valentines sprinkles
Instructions
- Prepare a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and set aside.
- Next, melt your white and semi-sweet chocolate. For the microwave method, place 3/4 of your chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and heat the chocolate in medium power in 30-second intervals, until your chocolate is nearly melted. Remove from the microwave and stir vigorously with a rubber spatula. Add the remaining 1/4 of your chocolate and microwave in intervals of 5 seconds, stirring between each interval, until chocolate is just melted.16 ounces (453.6 g) semi-sweet chocolate bar, 4 ounces (113.4 g) white chocolate
- For the double boiler method, use a glass bowl or a heat proof bowl that fits over a pot. Add a couple of inches of water and heat until water just starts to boil. Place the heat proof bowl on top, making sure it's not touching the water, turn off the heat and add 3/4 of the chocolate, stirring until completely melted. Remove from the heat, add the rest of the chocolate and stir until chocolate melts. Place on top of the boiling water if you find chocolate is not completely melted.
- Pour the melted semi-sweet chocolate into your prepared cookie sheet and spread using a spatula into an even layer. Pour the melted white chocolate on top, either spooning it into dollops on top of the dark chocolate layer, or simply pour making an S shape. Use a toothpick to make the white chocolate swirls.
- Immediately, add the Oreo cookies, chocolate, sprinkles and dry strawberries. Refrigerate until completely set, break into pieces and enjoy!6 pieces Golden Oreos, 1/4 Cup (59.1 g) Valentines m&m's, 1/8 Cup (18 g) Freeze-dry strawberries, 1/8 Cup (20 g) Valentines sprinkles
Notes
- Use chocolate bars cut into equally-sized small pieces instead of chocolate chips. Chocolate chips are made to hold their shape when heated, so they are not the best option for this dessert.
- If using the double boiler method to melt your chocolate, make sure no water seeps in. Moisture is the enemy of chocolate, keep it dry at all times!
- White chocolate hardens pretty quickly, so after melted, work quickly to swirl it around and adding all of the toppings.
