Description

This Delightful Pistachio Cranberry Bark is a simple, no-bake treat featuring creamy white chocolate studded with crunchy pistachios and tart dried cranberries. Perfect for a quick festive snack or a charming homemade gift, this bark is easy to make and offers a perfect balance of sweet and nutty flavors with a hint of saltiness.

Ingredients

Chocolate Base

  • 12 oz white chocolate chips or chopped white chocolate

Toppings

  • 1/2 cup pistachios, shelled and roughly chopped
  • 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 in 20-second intervals, stirring after each until the chocolate is smooth and fully melted.
  2. Prepare the Bark Base: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking and allow easy removal of the bark.
  3. Pour and Spread the Chocolate: Pour the melted white chocolate onto the lined baking sheet and spread it evenly into a thin layer using a spatula.
  4. Add Toppings: Immediately sprinkle the chopped pistachios and dried cranberries evenly over the melted chocolate. Press them gently so they adhere well to the chocolate surface.
  5. Chill the Bark: Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for 1 to 2 hours, or until the chocolate is completely set and firm to the touch.
  6. Break Into Pieces: Once the bark has hardened, remove it from the fridge and break it into irregular pieces suitable for serving.
  7. Serve and Enjoy: Serve the pistachio cranberry bark chilled or at room temperature as a sweet and crunchy treat.

Notes

  • Store the bark in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator to maintain freshness.
  • For added texture and flavor, you can toast the pistachios lightly before adding them.
  • Swap out pistachios or cranberries for other nuts and dried fruits based on preference.
  • If using the microwave method to melt chocolate, be careful to avoid overheating which can cause the chocolate to seize.
  • The optional sea salt enhances the sweetness and balances the flavors but can be omitted if preferred.
