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!

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 🙂
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.
I love chocolate bark Paula! This is awesome! My kids would love that pink color!
Thanks Tanya. This is one I had to send to the teachers so I wouldn’t eat it all in one day!!
Oh Paula, chocolate and strawberry is such a great combo! This truffle bark looks amazing, pinning!
Looks tempting, Paula. Love all your chocolate treats. Thans for sharing.

Paula, This White Chocolate Bark is mouth-watering! You cannot go wrong with sweet gifts. The teachers are bound to love this and will be glad your sons are in their class! Pinning this.
I would not be able to stop eating this bark. In fact, I wish that I had some for an afternoon snack. So pretty! Pinned!
This is almost too pretty to eat, but I would eat plenty! Looks delicious, Paula!
Thank you Marcie! I did :/
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.
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!
These look so pretty and delish! Thank you for linking up at The Weekend re-Treat Link Party!
