Prep Time: 50 minutes
Bake Time: none
INGREDIENTS:
- 4 (4-ounce) white chocolate baking bars
- 1/2 cup plus 2 Tbsp. lightly salted shelled pistachios, coarsely chopped
- 1/2 cup plus 2 Tbsp. dried cranberries
- Coarse white decorating sugar, for sprinkling on top
INSTRUCTIONS:
- Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate baking bars in 30-second intervals in the microwave, stirring after each interval, until chocolate is melted—be careful not to overheat! Stir until chocolate is smooth and creamy.
- Stir in 1/2 cup each of the pistachios and dried cranberries into the melted chocolate (save the rest for sprinkling on top).
- Spread mixture evenly, about 1/4″ thick, onto your prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle the remaining 2 Tbsp. of pistachios and cranberries on top, pressing into the chocolate slightly. Lightly sprinkle coarse white decorating sugar over the bark.
- Refrigerate until set, about 30 to 40 minutes, then break the bark into pieces. Store in refrigerator in an airtight container until ready to serve.
To get the styled look Nancy created here, use the Table Talk Pizza & Flatbread Board with the Table Talk Wax Paper Liners and alongside a Ramekin from this set of 4.
