Ingredients
  

For the Base
  • 8 oz Dark Chocolate Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor and richness.
For the Toppings
  • 1 cup Pistachios Adds a delightful crunch; can substitute with any nut like almonds or pecans.

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Start by lining a baking tray with parchment paper, ensuring the paper extends slightly over the edges for easy removal later. Set the tray aside while you move on to melting the chocolate.
  2. In a double boiler, fill the bottom pot with water and bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Add dark chocolate to the top pot, stirring occasionally until melted - about 5-7 minutes.
  3. Once melted, pour the dark chocolate onto the prepared parchment-lined tray. Spread the chocolate evenly into a rectangle about 1/4 inch thick.
  4. Quickly sprinkle the chopped pistachios, dried cranberries, and dried cherries over the surface of the warm chocolate, gently pressing them in.
  5. Allow the bark to cool at room temperature for 1-2 hours. Alternatively, place in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
  6. Once firm, lift the bark from the tray using the parchment paper, and cut or break it into bite-sized pieces.
  7. Store your Chocolate Pistachio Cranberry Bark in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks.
