Ingredients
- 1/2 cup roughly chopped dried cranberries
- 1/2 cup roughly chopped pistachios
- 12 oz white chocolate chips
Step-by-step Directions
Step 1: Prepare the Baking Sheet
Line a baking sheet with wax or parchment paper to prevent the chocolate from sticking and to ensure easy removal once set.
Step 2: Melt the Chocolate
Place the white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave at 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until the chocolate is fully melted and has a smooth consistency.
Step 3: Mix Ingredients
Into the melted white chocolate, stir in the majority of the chopped cranberries and pistachios, reserving about 1 tablespoon of each for topping. Mix thoroughly to distribute the fruits and nuts evenly throughout the chocolate.
Step 4: Spread the Mixture
Pour the chocolate mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Use a spatula to spread it out evenly.
Step 5: Add Toppings and Set
Sprinkle the reserved cranberries and pistachios over the top for a decorative touch. Refrigerate the bark until it is firm, which typically takes about 1 hour.
Servings & Preparation Time
This recipe yields approximately 10 servings. Preparation time is about 15 minutes, with an additional 1 hour required for the chocolate to set in the refrigerator.
Tips for Storage & Reheating
- Storage: Keep the bark in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain freshness. It can be stored for up to 2 weeks.
- Freezing: For longer storage, Pistachio Cranberry Delight Bark can be frozen. Wrap it tightly in plastic wrap followed by aluminum foil to prevent freezer burn. It will keep for up to 3 months.
