Ingredients
- 16 oz white chocolate (good-quality bars or chips)
- ½ cup dried cranberries
- ½ cup shelled pistachios
- Melt the white chocolate: Place the white chocolate in a heatproof bowl and set it over a pot of simmering water (double boiler) or microwave it in 20–30 second intervals, stirring thoroughly after each interval until the chocolate is completely smooth.
- Mix in cranberries and pistachios: Stir most of the dried cranberries and shelled pistachios into the melted chocolate, reserving a small handful to sprinkle on top for added visual appeal and texture.
- Spread the mixture: Pour the chocolate mixture onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Use a spatula to spread it evenly into about a ¼-inch thick layer.
- Add toppings: Sprinkle the reserved cranberries and pistachios evenly over the top of the chocolate layer.
- Chill to set: Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for 30 to 45 minutes, or until the chocolate bark is completely set and firm before breaking into pieces for serving.
Notes
- Use good-quality white chocolate to ensure smooth melting and superior flavor.
- You can substitute pistachios with other nuts like almonds or walnuts if desired.
- Store the bark in an airtight container in the refrigerator to keep it fresh and prevent melting.
- This recipe requires no baking, making it perfect for beginners or quick holiday treats.
- Ensure the dried cranberries are not too sticky to prevent clumping in the chocolate.
