# What You'll Need:
→ Chocolate Ganache
01 - 10.5 oz dark chocolate (60–70% cocoa), chopped
02 - 1 cup heavy cream
03 - 2 tbsp unsalted butter, cubed
04 - 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
05 - Pinch of salt
→ Spiderweb Decoration
06 - 2 oz white chocolate, chopped
→ Dippers
07 - 12 to 16 fresh strawberries, hulled
08 - 12 to 16 large marshmallows
09 - 12 to 16 shortbread or butter cookies
10 - 1 cup pretzel rods
11 - 1 cup assorted fresh fruit (apple slices, banana pieces, orange segments)
# Step-by-Step Guide:
01 - Place chopped dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl. Heat cream over medium heat until it begins to simmer without boiling. Pour hot cream over chocolate, let sit for 1 to 2 minutes, then add butter, vanilla, and salt. Stir gently until smooth and glossy. Let cool for 5 to 10 minutes until thickened but still spreadable.
02 - Spread ganache evenly onto a large serving board forming a ½-inch thick layer. Melt white chocolate in microwave-safe bowl in 20-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Transfer melted chocolate to a piping bag or ziplock bag with a small corner snipped off. Pipe 3 to 4 concentric circles on ganache surface. Using a toothpick, drag lines outward from center through circles to form a spiderweb pattern.
03 - Neatly arrange strawberries, marshmallows, cookies, pretzel rods, and assorted fresh fruit around the ganache on the board. Serve immediately for dipping.
