Dark Chocolate Bark with Strawberries and Pretzels

Melt the chocolate using one of the methods below:
3 Microwave method: Place the chocolate in a medium-sized glass bowl and microwave it in 20-second increments, stirring well between each spell, until it's melted and smooth.
2 Double-boiler method: Place the chocolate in a medium-sized glass bowl that can rest on top of a pot without falling in. Fill the pot with a couple inches of water, place the bowl of chocolate over top, and bring the water to a boil. Use a spatula to constantly stir the chocolate until it's melted and smooth.
4 Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, then spread the chocolate onto the sheet in an even rectangle.
5 Top the chocolate with the strawberries and pretzels, then transfer to the refrigerator to set for 30 minutes to 1 hour, until fully hardened.
6 Break up the chocolate bark, then store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week. To extend the life of the bark, you can also store it in the refrigerator or freezer for up to one month or in the freezer for up to 3.
