Ingredients:

  • 1 cup semi sweet chocolate melting wafers
  • 1 lb fresh strawberries
  • 1 pint fresh raspberries
  • 0.5 cup pomegranate arils
  • 8 rose hued macarons
  • 100g shortbread triangles
  • 1 small bunch fresh mint leaves

Instructions:

  1. Wash the 1 lb strawberries and 1 pint raspberries carefully. Note: Pat them bone dry with paper towels so the chocolate sticks.
  2. Place 1 cup semi sweet chocolate melting wafers in a bowl. Microwave in 30 second intervals until glossy and smooth.
  3. Dip half of the strawberries into the melted chocolate. If you want a more professional look, check out the technique in my [Valentine Strawberries recipe](https://myrecipecritic.com/recipes/valentine-strawberries/).
  4. Place two small bowls on the board — one for the 0.5 cup pomegranate arils and one for any remaining melted chocolate.
  5. Arrange the 200g dark chocolate bark and 150g white chocolate pretzels in a curving line across the center.
  6. Nestled the 8 rose hued macarons and 100g shortbread triangles in the larger open spaces.
  7. Tightly pack the 15 milk chocolate truffles and the remaining fresh berries around the larger items. until no wood is visible.
  8. Sprinkle the pomegranate arils into any tiny remaining holes.
  9. Tuck the small bunch of fresh mint leaves into the edges until the scent is fragrant.
  10. Step back and ensure the colors are distributed evenly — don't put all the red berries in one corner!
