This recipe combines the creamy sweetness of white chocolate with the bright, fresh flavor of raspberries — it’s simple, elegant, and requires only two main ingredients. It’s a perfect no-bake dessert for gatherings, date nights, or whenever you want a treat that looks as good as it tastes.
Ingredients
(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)
11 oz white chocolate chips
1–2 packages of fresh raspberries, rinsed, drained, and dried
Directions
Rinse the fresh raspberries thoroughly and gently dry them on a paper towel.
Line a baking sheet with wax paper, parchment paper, or a baking mat.
Melt the white chocolate chips using a double boiler (or a heatproof bowl over a saucepan with simmering water), stirring gently and frequently until fully smooth.
Pour the melted white chocolate onto the prepared sheet and spread it out with a spatula to about ¼-inch thick. Let cool for about 3–5 minutes.
Carefully press the raspberries onto the molten white chocolate — you can place them close together or spaced out, depending on how many berries you like per bite.
Allow the bark to cool and harden either at room temperature (a few hours) or in the refrigerator (about 10 minutes) until firm.
Once fully set, break the bark into pieces and serve.

Storage/Reheating
Because this bark includes fresh fruit, it’s best enjoyed the same day you make it. If needed, you can store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 24–48 hours. Do not freeze — freezing may damage the texture of the raspberries and chocolate.
FAQs
How long does the chocolate bark take to harden?
If refrigerated, it hardens in about 10 minutes. Left out at room temperature, it may take a few hours.
Can I use a microwave instead of a double boiler to melt the chocolate?
Yes — you can melt the white chocolate in a microwave in short intervals (e.g. 15–20 seconds), stirring gently between each until smooth. Just be careful not to overheat or burn the chocolate.
Can I use milk or dark chocolate instead of white chocolate?
Yes. Using a different type of chocolate will still work, though the flavor and sweetness will change accordingly.
What kind of raspberries should I use?
Use fresh, ripe raspberries that are firm, plump, and brightly colored. Avoid overripe or soft berries, and make sure they are fully dried before placing on chocolate so the bark doesn’t become soggy.
Can I use frozen raspberries if fresh aren’t available?
Frozen raspberries are not recommended because the moisture released during thawing can make the chocolate bark soggy and prevent it from setting properly.
Can I add other toppings — like nuts or dried fruit — to the bark?
Yes. While the base recipe uses only raspberries and white chocolate, you can personalize it by adding nuts, dried fruit, a drizzle of additional chocolate, or other toppings to suit your tastes.
How long will the bark stay fresh?
Best eaten the same day. Stored in an airtight container in the fridge, it should stay good for up to 1–2 days.
Is this recipe vegan or dairy-free?
Not as written: white chocolate chips usually contain dairy. To make it vegan/dairy-free, you would need to use a vegan white-chocolate substitute (e.g. a dairy-free “white chocolate” made with cocoa butter and non-dairy milk).
Is the bark suitable for special occasions like Valentine’s Day or parties?
Yes — its simple presentation and lovely color contrast make it ideal for occasions like Valentine’s Day, birthdays, or gatherings where you want an easy but elegant dessert.
Does the bark need to be served cold?
No — you can serve at room temperature once it’s set. But chilling it before serving gives a crisp snap when bitten and helps the chocolate hold shape.
