# 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 - 12–16 fresh strawberries, hulled
08 - 12–16 large marshmallows
09 - 12–16 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 in a small saucepan over medium heat until it begins to simmer without boiling. Pour hot cream over chocolate and let rest for 1–2 minutes. Add butter, vanilla extract, and salt, then gently stir until smooth and glossy. Allow ganache to cool for 5–10 minutes until thick but spreadable.
02 - Spread ganache evenly onto a large serving platter forming a ½-inch thick layer. Melt white chocolate in 20-second microwave intervals, stirring until smooth. Transfer melted white chocolate to a piping or ziplock bag with a small tip cut. Pipe 3–4 concentric circles atop the ganache. Use a toothpick to drag lines from the center outward through the circles, forming a spiderweb pattern.
03 - Neatly place strawberries, marshmallows, cookies, pretzel rods, and fresh fruit around the ganache on the platter. Serve promptly for dipping or scooping.
