Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 1 Pound white chocolate
  • ½ Cup pistachios (shelled)
  • ½ Cup dried cranberries

Instructions

  1. Line the baking sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent the bark from sticking and to make removal easier after cooling.
  2. Melt the chocolate: Melt the white chocolate using a double boiler for gentle heat or microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth and fully melted.
  3. Cool slightly: Allow the melted white chocolate to cool for a few minutes so it thickens slightly, which helps with better incorporation of the toppings.
  4. Add nuts and fruit: Stir in the shelled pistachios and dried cranberries evenly through the melted chocolate to distribute flavors and textures.
  5. Spread the mixture: Pour the chocolate mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and spread it evenly using a spatula, covering as much of the surface as desired based on bark thickness preference.
  6. Chill to set: Refrigerate the spread mixture for at least 30 minutes, or until the chocolate has hardened completely.
  7. Cut into pieces: Once set, use a sharp knife to cut the bark into uniform pieces or break it into rustic shards by hand for a more casual presentation.

Notes

  • Use good quality white chocolate for the best taste and smooth texture.
  • Feel free to substitute pistachios with almonds or walnuts if preferred.
  • For a festive touch, add a sprinkle of sea salt or edible glitter before chilling.
  • Store the bark in an airtight container in a cool place or refrigerator for up to two weeks.
