There’s Chocolate Bark, then there’s White Chocolate Strawberry Truffle Bark!! It’s luscious, creamy, exquisite; the rich white chocolate hugs a velvety, cake-like center. You will not be able to share… or stop eating it!
I’m so not a girly girl. Like, I didn’t play with dolls when I was little. Instead, I played cars and sports with my brothers. I’ve never been the froo-froo-girly-pink-and-lace type! But, I love this pink chocolate bark! It’s actually pink because it’s strawberry flavored, so you could make any cake flavor that you like or want to match the holiday.
I wanted something extra decadent but also easy to make for the boys’ teachers for Valentine’s Day. don’t you love homemade food gifts? I do. I sure hope their teachers do because they get a lot of them!
Since normally I don’t even get the opportunity to do anything pink, Valentine’s Day will be a great reason to indulge my pink creativity! After seeing this made in red velvet, I knew it would be great with strawberry. Bonus, it’s both delicious and easy!
White Chocolate Strawberry Truffle Bark
A few tips when you’re making this:
- Use good chocolate. Always. {I use Wilton Chocolate Melts or Ghirardelli usually.}
- The bottom chocolate layer should be thicker than the top for easier cutting. I used 3/4 bag of the chocolate melts for the top chocolate layer.
- You can make the cake by scratch or my short-cut method.
- Use an off-set spatula to spread the chocolate. You’ll find it much easier to get a thin, even layer using one.
- It doesn’t have to be perfect!
White Chocolate Strawberry Truffle Bark
Ingredients
- 1 strawberry cake baked according to package directions and cooled
- 1 12 ozcan vanilla cake frosting
- 2 12 oz bags Wilton white candy melts
- 2 T solid vegetable shortening
- optional: sprinkles nuts, mini chocolate chips, or colored sugar for sprinkling on top
Instructions
- Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper. They need to be larger than 9x13.
- Crumble cooled cake in a large bowl. Mix cake with entire container of frosting.
- Add 1 and 1/2 tablespoon shortening to the candy melts.
- Melt one bag plus 3/4 cup from second bag and of the chocolate in microwave and stir until smooth.
- Pour chocolate evenly on the two prepared parchment paper lined pans.
- Spread evenly.
- Allow to set and harden at least 30 minutes.
- Divide cake mixture evenly on two layers of chocolate and spread and press into a even layer. You can use a off-set spatula or your fingers for this.
- Add remaining 1/2 tablespoon shortening to remaining chocolate.
- Melt remaining chocolate and carefully pour over cake mixture. Carefully spread to cover the cake in a thin, even layer.
- Add sprinkles before chocolate sets.
- Allow to cool and set. You can leave sitting on the counter-top or speed the process by placing in the refrigerator or freezer.

No one would buy me matchbox cars when I was little so I was forced to “borrow them” from my cousin Joey who lived next door. No one believed him when he complained that I was swiping them,,, because girls don’t like matchbox cars! Ha. Pink is fine with me too when it is strawberry… love this bark. Great pictures too.
Paula says
OH I LOVE matchbox cars! My boys never were much into them, but I still think they’re awesome and won’t give theirs away!

I was the same and grew up playing cars and video games with my older brothers too 🙂 I definitely love pink and girly things now though including this pretty chocolate truffle bark! It looks incredible and I love the strawberry cake in here and adding sprinkles is always a good thing – love these Paula 🙂
Paula says
Thank you, Kelly. I’m only slightly more girly now 🙂 I have two boys so I don’t have much of a chance to be girly. Thanks for stopping by.
