This recipe is simplicity itself and the results are quite impressive! It was all I could do to save enough of the confection to take the photograph. This makes a great gift for someone special and only takes about fifteen minutes to make.

Almond and Cranberry Bark Recipe

INGREDIENTS:

  • 2 cups (10 oz) (280 gm) white chocolate wafers
  • 1/2 cup (3 oz) (85 gm) semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 3/4 cup (3 oz) (85 gm) slivered almonds
  • 3/4 cup (3 oz) (85 gm) dried cranberries
  • METHOD:

    Roast the almond slivers in a saucepan on low-medium heat, stirring constantly until toasty coloured. (Remember browning will continue after removal from the heat because of the hot pan!)

    Melt the white chocolate in a double boiler, stirring occasionally until melted. Do not allow temperature to exceed 122°F or 50°C.

    Stir the cooled almonds and the dried cranberries into the white chocolate.

    Melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips in a double boiler.

    Spread the white chocolate mixture on a sheet of parchment paper in a jelly roll pan.

    Pour the melted semi-sweet chocolate over top and use a knife to mix the two chocolates together to get a marbled look.

    Chill in the refrigerator until chocolate has set and then break into chunks.

    Store in a covered container in the refrigerator.
