I picked up this bark recipe at a Christmas sweets swap hosted by a woman in my Bible study group. My family, friends and I think it's just divine. Even my dad, who's not big on candy, loves it. -Susan Wacek, Pleasanton, California

Steps:
- Line a baking sheet with foil, shiny-side up; smooth out the creases. Make sure all your tools are dry.
- Chop the white chocolate into 1/2-inch pieces with a large knife. Place all but 1 cup of the chopped chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave 30 seconds, then stir with a rubber spatula. Continue microwaving and stirring at 30-second intervals until melted, 3 to 5 minutes total. Immediately add the reserved chopped chocolate to the bowl; stir vigorously until melted and shiny. Don't worry if there are a few small unmelted pieces.
- Pour the white chocolate onto the prepared baking sheet; use the rubber spatula to spread it into a 10-to-12-inch circle, about 1/4 inch thick.
- Press the pistachios, cranberries and candied orange peel into the chocolate, arranging them so each bite has a mix of flavors and textures. Let the bark harden completely at room temperature, about 1 hour. (If the room is warm, you may need to freeze the bark for a few minutes.) Break into pieces and store in an airtight container at room temperature for 1 to 2 weeks.
Tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate: The better the chocolate, the better the bark will be. Look for chocolate with a high cocoa content (70% or higher) and a smooth, creamy texture.
- Chop the nuts and cranberries finely: This will help them to distribute evenly throughout the bark. You can use a food processor or a sharp knife to chop them.
- Line the baking sheet with parchment paper: This will help to prevent the bark from sticking to the pan and make it easier to remove.
- Spread the chocolate evenly: Use a spatula or offset knife to spread the melted chocolate evenly over the baking sheet. The chocolate should be about 1/4-inch thick.
- Sprinkle the nuts and cranberries evenly over the chocolate: Use your hands or a spoon to sprinkle the nuts and cranberries evenly over the melted chocolate. Press them down gently to help them adhere.
- Chill the bark: Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or until the chocolate is set. You can also freeze the bark for up to 2 weeks.
- Break the bark into pieces: Once the chocolate is set, break the bark into pieces using your hands or a sharp knife.
Conclusion:
Cranberry pistachio Christmas bark is a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for the holiday season. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a festive and flavorful bark that everyone will love. This bark is also a great gift idea for friends and family.
