Spiderweb Chocolate Ganache Board (Printable Version)

Rich ganache topped with a white chocolate spiderweb, served with assorted dippable fruits and treats.

# What You'll Need:

→ Chocolate Ganache

01 - 10.5 oz dark chocolate (60–70% cocoa), chopped
02 - 1 cup heavy cream
03 - 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cubed
04 - 1 teaspoon 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)

# How To Make It:

01 - Place chopped dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl. Heat heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium heat until it simmers without boiling. Pour hot cream over chocolate, let sit 1 to 2 minutes, then add butter, vanilla extract, and salt. Stir gently until smooth and glossy. Cool for 5 to 10 minutes until thickened but spreadable.
02 - Spread ganache evenly over a large serving board forming a ½-inch thick layer. Melt white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Transfer melted white chocolate to a piping or ziplock bag with a small tip. Pipe 3 to 4 concentric circles atop the ganache. Using a toothpick, draw lines outward from the center through the circles to form a spiderweb pattern.
03 - Arrange strawberries, marshmallows, cookies, pretzel rods, and fresh fruit neatly around the ganache on the board. Serve immediately to allow guests to dip or scoop with their treats.
