Texture and Crunch Elements:
- 1 cup freeze-dried strawberries (Just Strawberries)

- Carefully melt semi-sweet chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring at 1-minute intervals until achieving a silky, uniform consistency.

- Artfully drop white chocolate dollops onto the dark chocolate base, creating a canvas for decorative swirling.
- Strategically drizzle remaining semi-sweet chocolate over white chocolate spots.
- Use a toothpick to create intricate marbled patterns, blending chocolates with delicate, sweeping motions.

- Scatter freeze-dried strawberries between pretzel sticks, filling empty spaces with vibrant color and fruity essence.
- Delicately sprinkle decorative elements over the chocolate, gently pressing to secure toppings.
- Transfer the baking sheet to the refrigerator, allowing chocolate to solidify for approximately 45 minutes.
- Transfer the hardened bark to a cutting board and slice into irregular, rustic pieces for serving.
