Salted Double Chocolate Holiday Bark – Recipe!

Two kinds of creamy chocolate, toasted pistachios and dried cranberries make my Salted Double Chocolate Holiday Bark one of holiday’s best treats.

Melting chocolate in a microwave and spreading it slowly over a piece of parchment paper in a large rectangle and then building from there is how it all begins.  Crunchy pistachios and chewy dried cranberries are then sprinkled over top and a smattering of sea salt.  Melted white chocolate is then drizzled over the bark to create a snow-like effect to add more creamy flavor.

A quick chill in the refrigerator and then it’s ready to break into pieces.  I love to share this bark with family and friends over the holiday season.  It’s one recipe that you can make quickly over and over again and it stores well in the refrigerator.
