Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Using a pencil, draw an 8-by-10-inch rectangle on a piece of parchment paper. Turn the parchment paper over so the pencil mark doesn't get onto the chocolate and place it on a sheet pan.
- Place the pistachios in one layer on another sheet pan and bake for 8 minutes. Set aside to cool.
- Place three quarters of the white chocolate in a heat-proof glass bowl and put it in the microwave on high for 30 seconds. (Time it with your watch for accuracy.) Stir the chocolate with a rubber spatula, return it to the microwave for another 30 seconds, then stir again. Continue to heat and stir in 30-second intervals until the chocolate is just melted. Immediately stir in the remaining chocolate and allow it to sit at room temperature, stirring often, until it's completely smooth. (If you need to heat it a little more, place it in the microwave for another 15 seconds.)
- Pour the melted chocolate onto the parchment paper and spread it lightly to fill the drawn rectangle. Sprinkle the top evenly with the cooled pistachios, the cranberries, and apricots. Press the nuts and fruit lightly so they will set in the chocolate. Set aside for at least 2 hours until firm or refrigerate for 20 minutes. Cut or break the bark in 16 pieces and serve at room temperature.

They should have about the same consistency as crushed ice. When the chocolate is melted, stir in the peppermint oil. Stir in all but 2 tablespoons of the crushed peppermint pieces and spread the mixture out on the cookie sheet, about 1/4-inch thick. It will not fill the pan completely. Sprinkle the reserved peppermint stick over the top. Let set at room temperature until hardened, about 2 hours. (Or, refrigerate for 30 minutes to harden more quickly.) Use your hands to break into pieces. Store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.

Pour chocolate onto prepared sheet and spread to cover entire surface and form 1 even layer. Melt all but 1/4 cup of white chips in microwave on medium power for 2 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds, or until smooth. Drizzle melted white chocolate over semisweet chocolate layer. Using a toothpick or skewer, swirl the melted chocolates together, creating a marbled effect.

WHITE AND DARK CHOCOLATE DOGWOOD BARK
Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 325 degrees . Toast the pecans on a baking sheet in the preheated oven for 8 minutes. remove the nuts from the oven and set aside to cool at room temperature until needed.
- Heat 1-inch of water in the bottom half of a double boiler over medium heat. With the heat on, place the white chocolate in the top half of the double boiler. Use a rubber spatula to stir the chocolate until completely melted and smooth, about 4 minutes. Transfer the melted chocolate to a 1-quart bowl and set aside. Thoroughly wash and dry the top half of the double boiler.
- Heat 1 inch of water in the bottom half of a double boiler over medium heat. With the heat on, place the semisweet chocolate in the top half of the double boiler. Use a rubber spatula to stir the chocolate until completely melted and smooth, about 6 minutes. Transfer the melted chocolate to a 4-quart bowl. Allow the chocolate to stand at room temperature for 5 minutes before proceeding. Add the pecans to the bowl of melted semisweet chocolate. Use a rubber spatula to fold in the pecans until combined. Pour the chocolate pecan mixture onto a nonstick baking sheet with sides and use a rubber spatula to spread evenly. drizzle the white chocolate, one tablespoon at a time, over the entire surface of the chocolate pecan mixture.
- Use a rubber spatula to spread and blend the white chocolate into the surface of the chocolate pecan mixture creating a marbleized effect (be careful not to overblend which would diminish the marbleized effect). Allow the mixture to cool at room temperature for 30 minutes. Cover the baking sheet with plastic wrap and refrigerate until the bark is hard, about 1 hour. Remove the baking sheet from the refrigerator and transfer the bark to a cutting board. Use a cook's knife to cut the bark into irregular pieces. Refrigerate in a tightly sealed plastic container until ready to use.

Though this recipe calls for only four ounces of white chocolate, it will be easier to temper if you work with a larger amount, say, one pound. The remainder of the tempered white chocolate can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator or freezer. To reuse, melt it to 109 degrees.

Steps:
- 1. Line a lightly oiled 23 x 13-cm (9 x 5-inch) loaf pan with plastic wrap, letting the wrap hang over the sides. Distribute the pretzel sticks, cranberries and pistachios evenly in the pan. 2) Melt the chocolate in a double boiler until hot to the touch.

Grasp the edges of the plastic wrap and lift the confection out of the pan. Peel off the wrap. Using a hot knife, cut into 2.5-cm (1-inch) squares. 4) Store at room temperature.

Steps:
- 1. Melt your chocolate in a double boiler or the microwave. Pour out on to wax paper and spread out to your desired thickness. Now add the Boysenberry crunch on top of chocolate.
- 2. Let it harden and then break up in small pieces for your bark. I always add some type of candy to my cookie trays and usually place it in the middle of the tray or in between cookies. The bark is a great way to use up your left over chocolates. I am always about trying to no waste.
- 3. Boysenberry crunch has a tart and sweetness to it. It packs alot of flavor. Now, you have to like the tart in order to enjoy it. If you love tart flavors then you will really enjoy this boysenberry bark. If you do not have a candy store that sells the crunch, here is a website that you can buy it. http://www.countrykitchensa.com/
Tips:
- Use high-quality white chocolate. This will make a big difference in the taste of your bark. Look for a chocolate that is at least 30% cocoa butter.
- Temper your white chocolate. This will help it set properly and give it a smooth, creamy texture. To temper white chocolate, melt it slowly over a double boiler, stirring constantly. Once it reaches 110 degrees Fahrenheit, remove it from the heat and let it cool to 80 degrees Fahrenheit. Then, reheat it to 88 degrees Fahrenheit and stir until it is smooth and shiny.
- Add your favorite mix-ins. You can add anything you like to your white chocolate bark, such as nuts, dried fruit, candy, or spices. Just be sure to choose mix-ins that will complement the flavor of the white chocolate.
- Let the bark cool completely before breaking it into pieces. This will help it hold its shape and prevent it from crumbling.
Conclusion:
White chocolate bark is a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a bark that is customized to your own taste. So next time you are looking for a sweet treat, give white chocolate bark a try.
