CRANBERRY ALMOND BARK CANDY



Cranberry Almond Bark Candy image

This recipe was given to me by my sister. There's a crunch with the cranberries but it is a delicious candy and vibrant colored. Hope you enjoy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Provided by Zelda Hopkins

Categories     Candies

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 2

2 pkg white almond bark
2 pkg raw cranberries

Steps:

  • 1. On low heat melt almond bark in a large, heavy skillet, continuing to stir. When melted, Stir in raw cranberries. Turn off heat. Line cookie sheets with foil, drop candy on foil. Eat when set.

Tips:

  • For a smoother bark, use a double boiler or bain-marie to melt the chocolate. This will prevent the chocolate from overheating and seizing.
  • To evenly distribute the almonds and cranberries, sprinkle them over the melted chocolate in a thin layer.
  • If you want a crunchier bark, press the almonds and cranberries into the melted chocolate before it cools.
  • To create a festive holiday bark, use red and green cranberries and top with crushed candy canes.
  • For a more sophisticated flavor, use dark chocolate or bittersweet chocolate instead of semisweet chocolate.
  • Be sure to use fresh cranberries for the best flavor. Frozen cranberries can be used, but they may not be as tart.
  • If you don't have almonds, you can use other nuts, such as walnuts, pecans, or pistachios.
  • Store the bark in an airtight container in a cool, dry place for up to two weeks.
