Ingredients
Scale
12 ounces white chocolate chips
1/2 cup dried cranberries
1/2 cup shelled pistachios, roughly chopped
1 tablespoon coconut oil (optional, for smoother melting)
Instructions
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Place the white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Add the coconut oil if using.
Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth. Be careful not to overheat.
Spread the melted white chocolate evenly onto the prepared parchment paper, about 1/4 inch thick.
Immediately sprinkle the dried cranberries and chopped pistachios over the melted chocolate. Gently press them in slightly.
Let the bark set at room temperature for about 30 minutes, or until firm.
Once firm, break the bark into pieces.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator.
Notes
For an extra festive touch, you can add a sprinkle of edible glitter or gold leaf.
If you don’t have dried cranberries, you can substitute with other dried fruits like cherries or apricots.
Ensure your white chocolate is good quality for the best flavor and texture.
