Winter White Cranberry Pistachio Chocolate Bark.
Ingredients
- White Chocolate 12 oz
- A handful of shelled roasted and salted pistachio nuts
- About 10 apricots (cut into many pieces.
- A good handful of dried cranberries and or cherry pieces
Instructions
- First prep a rimmed baking pan (it can be unrimmed too).
- Line the pan with either a silicone mat (which you all know I am obsessed with) or parchment paper.
- Either will be nonstick.
- Next, in a medium-sized microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate.
- Follow YOUR package of white chocolate instructions to melt.
- On mine, it was 1:30 (one minute 30 seconds to a full melt).
- Once melted, stir like crazy to make sure it is super smooth, we don’t want any chunks.
- Using a spatula to make sure to get ALL that precious white chocolate out of the bowl, push it out of the bowl and onto your silicone mat.
- I think configure it into the best rectangle shape I can.
- Once shaped to your liking, start with the nuts.
- Make sure to use a spoon (back of one) to really wrestle the nut pieces in so they set INTO the chocolate and don’t’ pop out.
- Then once evenly distributed across the chocolate, start with the cranberry pieces.
- Now at the end toss on the apricot to POP with color.
- Ideally, you will space all of this and push it in.
- Don’t bury the pieces, but do make certain they are tapped in using an end of a utensil works well so it does not attach to your finger (plus for sanitary reasons, unless you choose to use gloves)
- Once finished, allow it to either be refrigerated for 1/2 an hour to set or set on the counter for up to 3 hours to dry.
- After that, break it not pieces and serve or store.
- Enjoy! ~ Dana XO
