Ingredients
- 12 ounce white candy melts
- 4 ounce red candy melts
- 4 ounce green candy melts
- ¼ cup pistachios chopped
- ¼ cup cranberries dried, chopped
- 1 ounce candy cane pieces crushed
Instructions
- Line a 9 x 13 baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Place the white candy melts, red candy melts and green candy melts in 3 different microwavable bowls. Microwave the bowl with candy melts for 1 minute at 50% power. Stir, they won't look melted, but stir anyway. Place back in the microwave for another 30 seconds at 50% power. Stir again. The candy melts should begin to melt. Place back in the microwave and melt for another 30 seconds at 50% power. Stir again until smooth. Repeat if candy melts are not completely melted.
- Pour the melted white chocolate onto the prepared baking sheet and spread it evenly with a spatula over the entire baking sheet, leaving a couple inches around the edges.
- Spoon a couple tablespoon dollops each of the melted red and green chocolate candy melts, alternating colors, three across and about four rows if you can fit them in.
- Take a skewer stick and swirl the red dollops, spreading them out and do the same with the green dollops.
- Sprinkle the crushed pistachios over the top, then the chopped cranberries and top off by sprinkling the crushed candy cane pieces overtop.
- Refrigerate again until cool enough to break the bark into pieces. Should harden pretty quickly, in about 10 to 20 minutes.
