Print Recipe

A simple, festive bark combining creamy white chocolate, tart dried cranberries, and crunchy roasted pistachios. Perfect for holiday treats and gifting.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 10 oz (280 g) white chocolate chips or bars (high-quality with at least 30% cocoa butter)
  • 1 cup (120 g) dried cranberries (sweetened, chewy)
  • 1 cup (120 g) raw pistachios, shelled (lightly roasted)
  • 1 tbsp (14 g) unsalted butter
  • 1 tsp (5 ml) vanilla extract
  • Pinch of sea salt

Instructions

  1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  2. Roast the pistachios at 325°F (160°C) for 5-7 minutes if raw, then let cool completely.
  3. Chop white chocolate bars if using bars. Place white chocolate and butter in a microwave-safe bowl.
  4. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring well between each, until smooth and creamy. Alternatively, melt over a double boiler on low heat.
  5. Add vanilla extract and a pinch of sea salt, stirring gently to combine.
  6. Fold in half of the pistachios and cranberries gently.
  7. Pour and spread the chocolate mixture evenly on the prepared sheet about 1/4 inch (6 mm) thick.
  8. Sprinkle the remaining pistachios and cranberries on top, pressing lightly into the chocolate.
  9. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour until completely firm.
  10. Break or cut the bark into irregular pieces once set.
  11. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two weeks or freeze for longer storage.

Notes

Melt white chocolate slowly and stir frequently to avoid seizing. Roast pistachios to enhance flavor and crunch. Chill bark fully for a satisfying snap. If cranberries are sticky, toss lightly in powdered sugar to prevent clumping. For vegan version, use dairy-free white chocolate and coconut oil instead of butter.
