Add the vanilla:
Once the chocolate and butter are completely melted and well combined, add the vanilla extract and mix well.
Preparing the white chocolate:

Assembly:

Ensure they are clean and dry.
First layer of chocolate:
Pour a small amount of melted dark chocolate into each mold, filling it approximately halfway.
Gently tap the molds on the table to remove air bubbles and level the chocolate.
Let this layer cool and harden a bit.
Add the freeze-dried strawberries:
Place small pieces of freeze-dried strawberries on the layer of dark chocolate.
Second layer of chocolate:
Pour the melted white chocolate over the freeze-dried strawberries, filling the mold to the top.
Gently tap the molds on the table again to level the chocolate and remove any air bubbles.
Refrigerate:
Place the molds in the refrigerator and let the chocolate cool and harden completely, approximately 1-2 hours.
Unmold and serve:
Unmold:
Once the chocolate is completely hardened, carefully unmold it.
Presentation:
