Ingredients
Scale
Main Chocolate:
- 12 ounces (340 grams) white chocolate chips
Nuts and Fruits:
- ½ cup (75 grams) roughly chopped pistachios
- ½ cup (75 grams) roughly chopped dried cranberries
Instructions
- Carefully arrange a layer of parchment paper on a baking sheet, ensuring complete coverage to facilitate effortless chocolate removal and prevent sticking.
- Gently melt white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe vessel, employing short 30-second bursts and stirring between intervals until achieving a silky, uniform texture.
- Incorporate most of the finely chopped cranberries and pistachios into the molten white chocolate, thoroughly blending to create a harmonious distribution of ingredients.
- Transfer the chocolate mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, using a smooth spatula to create an even, elegant layer with consistent thickness.
- Artfully scatter the remaining cranberry and pistachio pieces across the surface, creating a visually appealing mosaic of textures and colors.
- Place the bark in the refrigerator, allowing it to solidify and set completely, typically requiring approximately one hour of chilling time.
- Once firm, gently break or cut the bark into irregular, rustic pieces for serving, revealing the embedded cranberries and pistachios within the creamy white chocolate base.
Notes
- Elevate your chocolate bark by using high-quality dark or white chocolate for a luxurious taste experience.
- Toast pistachios briefly to enhance their nutty flavor and create a delightful crunch in every bite.
- Line your baking sheet with parchment paper for effortless removal and clean cutting of the bark.
- Allow the chocolate to set completely at room temperature or quickly chill in the refrigerator for faster preparation.
- Store the bark in an airtight container between layers of parchment paper to maintain its crisp texture and prevent breakage.
