Pistachio Cranberry Chocolate Bark

By A Cultivated Nest Team

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

I love no bake recipes! They’re perfect for when I’m in the mood for a treat, but don’t feel like having to check on the oven every 10 minutes. Which is why I love chocolate bark! Some bark recipes are complex, requiring a lot of stirring and careful melting, but not this one. This chocolate bark is quick and easy to put together, only requiring a microwave and your fridge. If you want a simple chocolaty treat, you have to make this Pistachio Cranberry Chocolate Bark!

Food always makes a great gift, especially around the holidays! If you need a last minute present, make a big batch of this pistachio cranberry chocolate bark. Then break it up and package the pieces in some clear plastic treat bags tied closed with a pretty ribbon. The end result is a quick, pretty, and delicious gift! This would also be a lovely dessert to bring to a party!

Pistachio Cranberry Chocolate Bark

Ingredients

1.5 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
3/4 cup white chocolate chips
1/4 cup pistachios
2-3 tablespoons dried cranberries

Instructions

1. Line a large baking sheet with wax paper and set aside.

3. Pour the chocolate onto your prepared pan and smooth it out to about 1/4″ thick. If you like a thicker bark, just don’t spread it out as much.

Just go around the pan, dragging the tip through the white chocolate in a circular motion. You can make this as swirled as you like. Just continue making large and small circular motions until it looks the way you like.

7. Refrigerate until set, which was about 45 minutes for me. If you make a thicker bark, it will take a bit longer.

This pistachio cranberry chocolate bark will keep for about a week, if it lasts that long!

Some bark recipes require a lot of ingredients and careful melting. Not this one! This pistachio cranberry chocolate bark is quick, easy, and so delicious!
