Description
This Pistachio Cranberry Bark is a delicious, festive treat made with creamy white chocolate, crunchy pistachios, and tart cranberries. Perfect for gifting or enjoying as a sweet snack during the holidays!
Ingredients
Scale
- 12 oz white chocolate (chopped or chips)
- 1/2 cup pistachios, shelled and chopped
- 1/2 cup dried cranberries
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- Pinch of salt (optional)
Instructions
- Melt the White Chocolate:
- In a heatproof bowl, melt the white chocolate. You can do this in the microwave in 20-30 second intervals, stirring after each interval, or using a double boiler method on the stove until smooth and fully melted.
- Prepare the Baking Sheet:
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent the bark from sticking.
- Mix the Bark Ingredients:
- Once the white chocolate is melted, stir in the vanilla extract (if using) and a pinch of salt (optional) for added flavor.
- Spread the Chocolate:
- Pour the melted white chocolate onto the prepared baking sheet and spread it out into an even layer using a spatula. The layer should be about 1/4 inch thick.
- Add Toppings:
- Immediately sprinkle the chopped pistachios and dried cranberries evenly over the melted chocolate. Gently press them into the chocolate to ensure they stick.
- Chill and Set:
- Refrigerate the bark for 1-2 hours, or until the chocolate is fully set and firm.
- Break into Pieces:
- Once set, break the chocolate bark into pieces of your desired size. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
Notes
- You can experiment with different types of chocolate. Dark chocolate or milk chocolate would also pair wonderfully with pistachios and cranberries.
- If you like, you can add a drizzle of dark or milk chocolate over the top for an added touch.
- This is a perfect treat for holiday gift baskets, parties, or just for snacking!
