Description

This Delightful Pistachio Cranberry Bark is a simple, no-bake treat combining creamy white chocolate with crunchy pistachios and tart dried cranberries. Perfect for snacking or gifting, this recipe is quick to prepare and offers a beautiful contrast of flavors and textures.


Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 12 oz white chocolate chips or chopped white chocolate
  • 1/2 cup shelled and roughly chopped pistachios
  • 1/2 cup dried cranberries
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt (optional)


Instructions

  1. Melt the Chocolate: In a heatproof bowl, melt the white chocolate over a double boiler or in the microwave using 20-second intervals, stirring thoroughly after each interval until the chocolate is smooth and completely melted.
  2. Prepare the Bark Base: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking and ensure easy removal of the bark.
  3. Spread the Chocolate: Pour the melted white chocolate onto the prepared baking sheet and use a spatula to spread it evenly into a thin layer.
  4. Add Toppings: Immediately sprinkle the chopped pistachios and dried cranberries evenly over the surface of the melted chocolate. Press gently to help the toppings adhere to the chocolate.
  5. Chill the Bark: Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator and chill for 1-2 hours, or until the chocolate is fully set and firm to the touch.
  6. Break Into Pieces: Once the chocolate has hardened, remove from the refrigerator and break the bark into irregular pieces with your hands or a knife.
  7. Serve and Enjoy: Serve chilled or at room temperature as a delicious, crunchy sweet treat.

Notes

  • If you prefer a more intense flavor, lightly toast the pistachios before chopping to enhance their nuttiness.
  • Use high-quality white chocolate for the best flavor and texture.
  • The optional sea salt adds a nice balance to the sweetness if sprinkled on top before chilling.
  • Store bark in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
  • You can customize this recipe by swapping dried cranberries for other dried fruits or adding seeds.
