Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 16 oz white chocolate (good-quality bars or chips)
  • ½ cup dried cranberries
  • ½ cup shelled pistachios

Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Add toppings: Sprinkle the reserved cranberries and pistachios evenly over the top of the chocolate layer.
  5. 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.
