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.

I have yet to make this but was watching a chef whip it up on a local TV show last night and since it is so easy I am making this to take as a hostess gift as we are doing lots of visiting this Christmas!! I love the idea of the pretzels and I am actually using dried blueberries in mine as we are crazy for blueberries in any...

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. Pour the chocolate into the pan and mix gently with a knife tip so the chocolate fills the spaces between the other ingredients. 3) Refrigerate until the chocolate hardens, about 2 1/2 hours. 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.

WHITE CHOCOLATE BARK WITH PISTACHIOS AND DRIED CRANBERRIES
The original of this slightly tweaked recipe came from the food section of the Los Angeles Times, probably sometime in February 2010!, & I'm sure that RecipeZaar won't let me list the original chocolate which is 4 bars (3.5-ounces each) white chocolate (Lindt Swiss Classic). Preparation time does not include the time needed for the bark to chill & cool completely!

Tips:
- Use high-quality white chocolate for the best flavor. A good quality white chocolate will be smooth and creamy, with a rich flavor.
- If you don't have a candy thermometer, you can test the temperature of the white chocolate by dropping a small amount into a glass of ice water. If the chocolate hardens immediately, it is ready to use. If it takes a few seconds to harden, continue cooking the chocolate for a few more minutes.
- Be careful not to overcook the white chocolate, or it will become grainy and lose its smooth texture.
- Add the cranberries and pistachios to the white chocolate as soon as it is melted, before it has a chance to cool and harden. This will help to ensure that the cranberries and pistachios are evenly distributed throughout the bark.
- Pour the white chocolate mixture onto a prepared baking sheet and spread it out evenly. Use a spatula to smooth out the top of the bark.
- Refrigerate the bark for at least 2 hours, or until it is firm. This will help to set the chocolate and make it easier to cut.
- Once the bark is firm, break it into pieces and enjoy!
Conclusion:
White chocolate cranberry pistachio bark is a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great way to use up leftover white chocolate, and it is also a fun and festive gift idea.
