Ingredients
Scale
Chocolate Base
- 1 Pound white chocolate
Mix-ins
- ½ Cup pistachios, shelled
- ½ Cup dried cranberries
Instructions
- Prepare baking sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easy.
- Melt chocolate: Slowly melt the white chocolate using a double boiler or microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each to ensure smooth melting without overheating.
- Cool chocolate: Let the melted chocolate cool for a few minutes so it’s not too hot when combining with mix-ins, preventing separation.
- Add mix-ins: Stir in the pistachios and dried cranberries until evenly incorporated throughout the chocolate.
- Spread mixture: Pour the chocolate and mix-ins onto the lined baking sheet, spreading it into an even layer suitable to the pan size.
- Refrigerate to set: Chill the bark in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes until fully set and firm to touch.
- Cut or break: Use a sharp knife to cut the bark into neat pieces or break it into rustic chunks for serving.
Notes
- Chop the mix-ins small to help the bark slice more cleanly.
- Don’t overheat the chocolate; melt it slowly and stir often to avoid burning.
- Let the chocolate cool slightly before adding mix-ins to prevent separation.
- For neater pieces, lightly score the chocolate before refrigerating.
