White Chocolate Fruit 'n' Nut Bark

Again, I didn't modify this recipe at all, but you can use whatever you want in this bark: peanuts, walnuts, almonds, cherries, apricots...whatever your tongue prefers!

PS: the original recipe was half of what I made and listed below, but since I had the chocolate to use and didn't want it to go to waste, I doubled the recipe.

2 lb white chocolate, cubed/chopped
1 C dried cranberries
2 C shelled pistachio nuts




Place a sheet of foil on a baking sheet and set aside.

Remove the shells from the nuts and combine with the cranberries; set aside.



Add 2" water to a sauce pan. Bring to a boil. Add a 2nd and smaller sauce pan to the larger pan to create a double boiler.


Add the chocolate to the smaller pan.



Allow the chocolate to melt slightly and stir throughout the entire melting process. (Remember: use a heat-resistant spatula!) If you see any bubbling, briefly remove the top pan from the heat and remove once it's cooled (only a few seconds are required for this.) Continue to stir throughout until the chocolate has melted.



Quickly add the berries and nuts to the chocolate. Stir until they are covered in chocolate. Pour the mixture onto the foiled baking sheet and spread thin (about .25".)



Cool completely, break and enjoy!
