Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 12 oz white chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup dried cranberries
- 1/2 cup chopped pistachios
Instructions
- Prepare the Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent the chocolate from sticking and to make removal easier once set.
- Melt the White Chocolate: Place the white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second increments, stirring between each, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
- Spread the Chocolate: Pour the melted white chocolate evenly onto the prepared baking sheet. Use a spatula to spread it into an even layer about 1/4-inch thick.
- Add Toppings: Generously sprinkle the dried cranberries and chopped pistachios over the melted chocolate, gently pressing them down to help them adhere.
- Set the Bark: Allow the bark to cool completely at room temperature or in the refrigerator until firm and hardened.
- Break into Pieces: Once set, break the bark into irregular pieces and serve or package as a festive holiday gift.
Notes
- Use high-quality white chocolate for the best flavor and texture.
- For a glossy finish, avoid overheating the chocolate when melting.
- Substitute pistachios with almonds or pecans if preferred.
- Store the bark in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
- Adding a pinch of sea salt on top before setting enhances the flavor contrast.
