Ingredients
Chocolate: Premium white, milk, dark chocolate chips, bars, morsels, anything will work. Dried cranberries: This complements very well with the richness and creaminess of chocolate. Add some raisins, too. Nuts: Almonds are used, but you can add pistachios, walnuts, pecans, etc. Toasting the nuts will enhance the flavor. Salt: A sprinkle of salt balances and enhances the flavor. Optional ingredients: You can add seeds like sunflower or pumpkin and top the bark with dried coconuts. Check out the recipe card for the full list of the ingredients.
Step-by-stepinstructions
Roast the chopped almonds and keep this aside. Roasting enhances the flavor. Melt the white chocolate chips in the microwave, stirring every 20 seconds, or use the double boiler method until the chocolate has melted and is smooth and creamy. Pour the chocolate onto parchment paper. Spread this in a ¼-inch thick layer. Top with cranberries, almonds, raisins, and a few pinches of salt into the chocolate. Press them gently so that they stick to the chocolate. Freeze this bark for 10 minutes or until hardened. Break this into bite-size pieces. Serve and enjoy.
Tips
Use any nut combination of your choice. Store the chocolate bark in air-tight containers for about ten days.
