Festive Chocolate Bark


Festive Chocolate Bark

1 C shelled pistachios (1/2 lb in shell) salted & roasted
12 oz semisweet chocolate, chips or bar broken into small pieces
8 oz white chocolate, chips or bar broken into small pieces
¾ C dried, sweetened cranberries


-Melt the semisweet chocolate in microwave for 1-2 minutes until melted, stirring every 30 seconds. When some lumps remain, remove from microwave and stir until smooth. Melt the white chocolate following the same directions in a separate bowl.
-In a small bowl, combine nuts and cranberries.
-Stir ½ of the nut-berry mixture into the semisweet chocolate.
-Using a rubber spatula, spread the mixture about ½ thick onto a large lightly greased cookie sheet.
-It will not fill the whole pan.
-Drop the white chocolate by spoonfuls over the dark. With a spoon or butter knife, swirl the chocolates together to create a marbled effect.
-Sprinkle the remaining nut-berry mixture over the top of chocolate.
-Refrigerate the bark for about 1 hour or until firm, then break into pieces. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a month.
-Bark can get soft/melty at room temp, keep refrigerated.
ENJOY!
This is one of my (relativly new) favorite holiday goody recipe. A friend gave me the recipe a few years ago. It's simple, easy to make, hard to ruin, and DELICIOUS!

that sounds good, I'm always up to try new goodies! I have to comment on the name poll, i voted for Boston Zachary again, although I like the creativity of Washington, but what would you call him for short?
