Equipment
- 1 baking sheet
- 1 parchment paper
- 1 heatproof bowl
- 1 saucepan or microwave-safe bowl
- 1 spatula
Ingredients
- 8 ounces white chocolate, chopped
- 1 cup unsalted pistachios, shelled and roughly chopped
- 1 cup dried cranberries
- ½ teaspoon sea salt optional
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, making sure it covers the entire surface.
- In a heatproof bowl, melt the chopped white chocolate using a double boiler or microwave in 30-second intervals until smooth.
- Once melted, remove the chocolate from heat and stir in ¾ cup of chopped pistachios and all of the dried cranberries until well combined.
- Immediately pour the chocolate mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and spread it out evenly with a spatula, about ½ inch thick.
- Sprinkle the remaining pistachios and sea salt (if using) over the top of the bark, pressing them gently into the chocolate.
- Allow the bark to cool at room temperature for about 15 minutes, then refrigerate for 1 hour or until completely set.
- Once set, remove the bark from the baking sheet and break it into pieces or cut it into squares using a knife.
- For a festive twist, consider adding a sprinkle of crushed peppermint candies or colorful sprinkles on top before refrigerating.
