What Is Almond Bark

Almond Bark is a chocolate-like confection made with vegetable fats instead of cocoa butter. It is usually sold in blocks or round disks where baking supplies are sold. Almond bark is a chocolate coating used to cover fruit, nuts, sweet treats, cookies, and more. For the best results, follow the instructions on the back of the package when melting the chocolate. It is easy to use and tastes great.

How To Make Chocolate-Covered Strawberries with Almond Bark

With just a few simple steps, you will be well on your way to enjoying an easy and refreshing dessert. Please see the printable recipe card for step-by-step instructions.

• Wash and dry strawberries well. Any moisture can cause the almond bark to seize up, become clumpy, and not stick to the berries.
• Melt the almond bark according to the package instructions. I usually microwave it in short intervals, stirring in between, until smooth.
• Dip each strawberry into the melted almond bark almost to the top. Allow excess chocolate to drip off.
• Place the covered strawberries on wax paper or a parchment paper-lined baking sheet to set. I usually allow my dipped berries to set at room temperature, but you can speed up the process by placing them in the refrigerator.

Recipe Tips and Variations

These are just a few helpful tips and variations when preparing chocolate-dipped strawberries. Get creative and experiment with your favorite toppings and almond bark flavors.

• Wash and dry the strawberries before melting the almond bark. You will need to work somewhat quickly after the bark has melted.
• Allow the strawberries to completely set and harden before serving.
• Use chocolate almond bark, vanilla almond bark, or both. Almond bark makes the best chocolate-covered strawberry recipe.
• Ensure the strawberries are completely dry before dipping to avoid clumping or seizing.
• Dip the strawberries in chocolate first and allow to dry, then dip them in vanilla almond bark.
• Sprinkle toppings like crushed nuts, coconut flakes, or even crushed candy bars over the freshly dipped strawberries before the almond bark sets.
• Drizzle some melted milk chocolate, white chocolate chips, or dark chocolate over the top of the dipped strawberries.  Melt the chocolate chips over a double boiler. 

Storing Leftovers

If you have leftovers from a party, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator in a single layer. They will last up to 48 hours, though they are best enjoyed fresh.
