Homemade Chocolate Truffles

Chop the dark chocolate into small pieces and place it in a heatproof bowl. Heat the heavy cream in a saucepan until it just begins to simmer, then pour it over the chocolate. Stir until smooth and shiny. Add butter and mix until fully incorporated. Refrigerate the mixture for at least 1-2 hours until firm. Roll the chocolate into small balls and coat them with your choice of cocoa powder, nuts, or coconut.

Chocolate-Covered Strawberries

Melt the chocolate in a heatproof bowl over simmering water or in the microwave. Dip each strawberry into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is evenly coated. Place the dipped strawberries on a parchment-lined tray. Let them cool in the refrigerator for 30 minutes until the chocolate hardens.

Chocolate Bark

Melt the dark and milk chocolate separately until smooth. Pour the dark chocolate onto a lined baking sheet and spread it out evenly. Drizzle the melted milk chocolate over the dark chocolate and swirl with a knife for a marble effect. Top with your choice of dried fruits, nuts, or a sprinkle of sea salt. Refrigerate until set (about 1 hour), then break it into pieces.
