Equipment
- 1 baking sheet
- 1 parchment paper
- 1 medium saucepan
- 1 heat-resistant spatula
Ingredients
- 12 oz dark chocolate chopped or chips
- 1 cup shelled pistachios roughly chopped
- 1 cup dried cranberries
- 1 teaspoon sea salt optional for topping
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, making sure it covers the entire surface.
- In a medium saucepan, melt the dark chocolate over low heat, stirring frequently to ensure it melts evenly and does not burn.
- Once melted, remove the saucepan from heat and let it cool slightly for about 2 minutes.
- Stir in half of the chopped pistachios and dried cranberries into the melted chocolate.
- Pour the chocolate mixture onto the prepared baking sheet and spread it out evenly with a spatula to about ΒΌ inch thickness.
- Sprinkle the remaining pistachios and cranberries evenly over the top. If desired, sprinkle lightly with sea salt for added flavor.
- Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for about 10-15 minutes or until the chocolate has fully set.
- Once the chocolate is hard, remove it from the refrigerator and use a sharp knife to cut it into squares or break it into pieces.
- Store the bark in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator.
Notes
You can substitute dark chocolate with white or milk chocolate if preferred.
