Description

This White Chocolate Bark is a simple and delightful treat combining creamy white chocolate with tart dried cranberries and crunchy pistachios. Perfect as a festive snack or a sweet gift, this easy-to-make bark requires just a few ingredients and no baking.


Ingredients

Chocolate Base

  • 2 ½ cups white chocolate chips

Mix-ins and Toppings

  • ½ cup dried cranberries, roughly chopped (plus extra for sprinkling)
  • ½ cup shelled pistachios, roughly chopped (plus extra for sprinkling)


Instructions

  1. Prepare the pan: Line a quarter sheet pan (9×13 inches) with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make removal easier.
  2. Melt the chocolate: Place the white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl and heat in 20-second intervals, stirring between each interval until completely smooth and fully melted.
  3. Combine mix-ins: Gently fold the chopped cranberries and pistachios into the melted white chocolate, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
  4. Spread the mixture: Pour the white chocolate mixture onto the prepared sheet pan. Use a spatula to spread it out evenly into a flat layer.
  5. Add toppings: Sprinkle extra chopped cranberries and pistachios on top, pressing them lightly into the white chocolate so they adhere.
  6. Chill the bark: Place the pan in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes, or until the white chocolate has fully hardened and set.
  7. Serve and store: Once set, cut or break the bark into 16 pieces. Serve at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge or at room temperature for up to one week.

Notes

  • You can substitute dried cherries or blueberries in place of cranberries for a different flavor.
  • For an extra festive touch, add a sprinkle of sea salt or drizzle with dark chocolate.
  • Ensure the white chocolate does not overheat and seize by microwaving in short intervals and stirring often.
  • To keep the bark crisp, store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
